According to a study by the World Health Organisation (WHO), 1 in 5 people affected by forced displacement suffer from mental illness. Many more suffer from trauma, stress, and other forms of vulnerability, which are exacerbated by the economic and COVID-19 crises that led, for example, to increased rates of domestic violence, among other challenges.
The fifth Resilience Dialogue hosted by the Qudra 2 programme tackled the topic of quality mental health and psychosocial support for all. The session brought together practitioners from local and international implementing partners and donor representatives to share good practices and experiences.
