Understanding mental health to improve action in crisis areas

Alternatives Humanitaires (AH / Humanitarian Alternatives) magazine has dedicated a whole report to mental health in its latest issue of spring 2023. For too long, mental health has been considered secondary, while it should be a key concern in humanitarian action.

Populations exposed to armed conflict, natural disasters, pandemics or economic collapse suffer shocks that can have a serious impact on them throughout their lives. Aid workers are also exposed to high levels of risk every day in the field. This requires employers to invest significantly in a specific support framework, known as “Staff Care”.

Chief Editor Boris Martin  and his team decided to turn the spotlight on mental health to give it the place it deserves, taking care to show the plurality of this discipline and the different practices that can be observed in crisis areas.
