Good humanitarianism is helping people to help themselves get back on their own feet.

serious , support or silly? Do you think that a person who suffers from pain always needs support or solutions? Humanitarian workers suffer from wars and crises just like those who live them. and correct approach is not always in support or finding solutions, but sometimes it is naive behavior, getting the person out of the circle of thinking and pain has many ways. Always remember that timing is important in choosing the way you face different situations IFRC Reference Centre for Psychosocial Support #mentalhealthawareness. #mentalhealthmatters. #mentalhealthrecovery. #humanitarian 

🌍 Exciting News in Global Health & Mental Health 🌍 I'm thrilled to share a significant milestone achieved at the #WHA77 where a robust resolution was adopted to strengthen mental health and psychosocial support across the globe, especially in the context of armed conflicts, disasters, and emergencies. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dkncJdQ6 This resolution reaffirms everyone's right to the highest attainable standard of mental and physical health and underscores the critical need for integrated, quality mental health services that are accessible to all; It highlights the pressing mental health and psychosocial support needs in emergency and fragile settings and the urgent demand to address these through enhanced international cooperation and capacity building. #RedCrossandRedCrescent Movement, we are committed to this cause. Together with National Societies, we will continue to work diligently to contribute to the global agenda on #MentalHealth. Our aim is to ensure a comprehensive health approach that includes mental health as a fundamental aspect of health and human dignity. We celebrate this development and look forward to furthering our mission to alleviate human suffering in times of crisis!. Let's continue to support efforts that prioritize mental health and psychosocial well-being, recognizing their critical role in the recovery and resilience of communities affected by crises around the world.

At Humanitarian Service Points, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC network offers safe and welcoming spaces where people can access basic healthcare, food, water, mental health support, and more as needed. What is a humanitarian service point? #MigrantsDay

Access to quality healthcare is a human right. According to the World Health Organization, every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. Survivors of gender-based violence have this same right, and healthcare providers have a responsibility to uphold this right. Healthcare providers are often the first point of contact for survivors seeking help, and their response influences the survivor's healing process and overall well-being. They should be able to recognize the signs of GBV, provide physical and psychological care, collect forensic evidence of GBV, refer survivors to support services, and advocate for survivors. In AHI's humanitarian work in Northern Nigeria, we are involved with providing training for health workers on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), GBV Case Management, Clinical Management of Rape, and the Referral Pathway System. These are all needed components of an effective response to GBV, particularly in emergencies.  #ActionHealthInc #16Days #NoExcuse #AHIendGBV

This World Health Day, we celebrate the resilience and well-being of communities worldwide. Mental health is at the heart of our mission.

Mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) do not attract local, national or global health policy attention, although accounting for a considerable burden of disease. The majority of people with mental disorders do not receive evidence-based care, leading to chronicity, suffering and increased costs of care. Strengthening care and services for people with mental disorders is a priority and needs additional investment in human resources and piggy-backing on existing public health programmes. This is something that was strongly highlighted at the Africa CDC, CBM Global Disability Inclusion, Wellcome Trust, The American University in Cairo Mental Health Leadership Program. Looking around me, and seeing the dire need at Butabika National Referral Mental Hospital, really drives the point home for me. With a capacity of 550 beds, and the mental health crisis on the rise in Uganda, we need to do more to support people with mental health needs in our communities. And that could mean integration of mental health care services at the primary health care centers, and increased #InvestmentInMentalHealth by funders. Thoughts? Let's end the stigma and advocate for increased investment in mental health at all levels. #mentalhealth #LMICs #globalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #healthcare #publichealth #investment #advocacy

#MentalHealthCare is essential. The project Safeguarding the Rights of Populations at Risk of Ill Mental Health in Guyana is leading the way in ensuring that local communities get the support they deserve. Gatekeepers - local health care workers, civil society leaders and religious figures - are trained to identify mental health issues, provide immediate support, and connect people with the services they need.     Shanna, a dedicated gatekeeper from the Mabaruma region, recalls the transformative experience and insight she gained into #SuicidePrevention: “It gave me a better view on suicide...being here helped me understand suicide fully and ways and (sic) how we can combat it,” she explains. “Suicide has never occurred in my community, and I want to go back and educate and teach them so that it would never occur in my community.” Empowered by her new-found knowledge, Shanna has become a vital resource and mental health advocate in her community. She says, “I plan to educate [my community] on what I have learned here today and start implementing small strategies so that [suicide] can never happen. They can be well educated and aware like I am today.”     Together, IDRF (International Development and Relief Foundation) and Canada continue to support mental health care in Guyana by building local capacity and engaging community members. As a result, the project has successfully trained over 700 community members like Shanna. Together, we can fight stigma and prioritize mental health for all!     📸 Anand Ally / IDRF      #CommunityCare | #GenderEquality | #MentalHealth | #MentalHealthNow | #MentalHealthForAll | #MentalHealthAwareness | #WorldMentalHealthDay

We have developed our HEART model to guide organisations through the transition to positive duty compliance and the elimination or control of psychosocial hazards. #ridgelinehr #peoplebusiness #positiveduty https://lnkd.in/giA2q-_G

Lebanon’s escalating crisis is pushing us, as INGO humanitarian workers, to rethink and redefine how we deliver aid. We’re embracing bold, adaptive strategies—from digital aid platforms and deep local partnerships to a strong focus on mental health support. It’s about meeting urgent needs while staying agile in a fast-changing landscape. The challenges are intense: operating in high-risk zones, stretching limited resources, and managing the emotional toll on our teams. Yet, our resilience is driving us forward and setting new standards for humanitarian response in complex environments. What additional innovative solutions do you think could strengthen our impact on the ground? #LebanonCrisis #HumanitarianInnovation #INGOs #EmergencyResponse #Resilience
