Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Working Group
Background
The MHPSS WG is part of the Health Cluster. Mental Health is also part of one of the three strategic objectives of the 2023 HRP which highlights the need to provide mental health services to people in need of all genders and diversities. The response will continue to strengthen mental health throughout 2023 and beyond and humanitarian systems will be strengthened through a dedicated technical working group on this theme (i.e. the MHPSS WG).
