Mental Health Priority Conditions, Community Practices and Available Services and Supports

This assessment was plannedto identify the needs in mental health after the escalation of the emergency in December 2013. The last multi--sectorial assessment that was carried in November 2013 by IMC CAR1 included mental health components. The recommendations from this assessment were to start providing training in psychological first aid and the management of mental health priority conditions for health care staff at the different health posts. The current assessment is specifically focussing on mental health and has partly a different regional focus than the multi-sectorial assessment from 2013.
