Not sure #HSR2018 has got the message about environmental sustainability- lunch served in plastic trays that may/not be recycled; unsure if tea and coffee is Fairtrade; tuna in sandwiches not labelled as MSC; and unhealthy snacks (crisps, cookies) at a health conference...

Focusing on the effects of violence in the home on children's mental health in conflict zones, this Helpdesk Report from @IDS_UK suggests that home life can be a moderator, and potentially a mediator, of the effects of war #WorldMentalHealthDay https://t.co/zZ5oQCSOZn
