The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had devastating impacts on the mental health and well-being of countless individuals. Access to quality mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services is crucial for communities affected by such conflicts. To meet this urgent need, #Americares has worked with a network of local partners providing these essential services to Ukrainians impacted by the war. Rebecca Carney, MSW, Americares Senior MHPSS and Protection Program Manager for our Ukraine Response, recently conducted a comprehensive training of the World Health Organization's Problem Management Plus (PM+) for 18 partner staff in Lviv, Ukraine. PM+ is a scalable psychological intervention created to help people with depression, anxiety and stress. Learn more about our efforts in Ukraine here: https://lnkd.in/ecnMqDvw

1moGrateful to our partner staff who were incredibly dedicated during this training - especially when we had to shift to the bomb shelter during air raid alerts. Much appreciated!
