"Ethiopia has done its part; it’s time for the int'l community to strengthen its support."

In #Amhara, UNHCR's @AissatNdiaye met w/local authorities, refugee leaders & partners to discuss ways forward. 🇪🇹🤝

Developing the capacity of humanitarian workers on Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) is crucial to effectively support forcibly displaced people.

[UNHCR Ethiopia @UNHCREthiopia]

Mental health conditions can affect everyone, regardless of gender, age, or background.

Access to mental health and psychosocial support helps refugees to heal and cope enhancing their wellbeing and allowing them to rebuild their lives.
