Our terrific team from @THEME_INSTITUTE have got it back on track with the COMGAP-S clinic trial in Sri Lanka, taking all precautions. It speaks to the resilience of the health system that the doctors and nurses are also all in place and receptive to us in these pandemic times.

Can a setting be "doubly humanitarian", as in pandemic + humanitarian? What do you think?

Is it really possible to train refugees to help other refugees with brief psychological interventions? Yes it is! Read the story of Selo, a Syrian refugee in Iraq, who became a peer counsellor using Problem Management Plus with support of @refugees

Look carefully at the figures. 1% of humanity is displaced. This is not some minor issue, and the number is growing. Displaced people often lack protection of their human rights, including home, education, healthcare, mental health care, safety and hopes for the future.

[Peter Ventevogel @VentevogelPeter]

Sad new milestone: 79.5 million people are now displaced. That is 1% of the world population. Think about the suffering behind the statistics: every refugee left theit home, their land, their livelihoods.

This IASC document contains operational information on continuation of comprehensive mental health and psychosocial support programmes in humanitarian settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Very useful for UNHCR & partners.

Cautiously creeping up to restarting our much-battered #COMGAP trial. First step: dusting off the office #SriLanka. With @THEME_INSTITUTE

Racism and xenophobia are unacceptable and undermine the core values of the United Nations.

We must all #StandUp4HumanRights and help build a world free of discrimination, hate and violence.

Our colleagues at @THEME_INSTITUTE that we have been working together with on the #SriLanka COMGAP-S project celebrated their 4th anniversary last week. What a capable toddler they are; here is to many happy returns and a great deal more memories of useful work completed!

[globalhme @globalhme]

Excellent read. In our own #mhGAP implementation trial COMGAP-S we excluded the CAMH module for similar reasons, although dementia was relevant in #SriLanka. We also contxt-ized the videos https://t.co/ZJbpRkElHZ
