We're proud to share a recent research publication that explores how to combine mental health support with economic inclusion interventions for displaced families in Ecuador. This study builds on a multi-year partnership between HIAS and Columbia University. The article highlights the participatory process used to develop a toolkit (Building the Future), which was piloted in two field offices in Ecuador. Results indicate that co-developing and combining mental health support and economic inclusion strategies proved to be feasible and beneficial, and may improve mental health and economic outcomes.
