International Conference on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Crisis Situations – Amsterdam, 7 & 8 October 2019

Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) should be an integral part of the humanitarian response in crisis and emergency situations.

To promote the rapid adoption of this approach, the Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation hosted an international conference in Amsterdam on 7 and 8 October 2019. 

Attendees included MHPSS experts, policymakers, ministers, donors and people with lived experience.
