Amidst conflict and disaster, mental health often goes overlooked, disrupted, and stigmatised. With a presence in Afghanistan, Burundi, Colombia and South Sudan, HealthNet TPO is committed to fortifying mental health services, fostering resilience in communities impacted by violence and disaster, enabling them to recover and rebuild.
Create bundleBuilding Resilience and Preventing Mental Health Concerns
Engaging with youth, women, and vulnerable groups, we foster empowerment and resilience. Through tailored interventions, we strive to proactively address mental health challenges, fortifying community wellbeing and resilience against adversity.
Capacity Building and Integration of Mental Health Care
Addressing the shortage of mental health professionals, we train non-specialist healthcare workers to detect and manage common mental health problems. Additionally, we advocate for the integration of mental health care within existing health systems.
Psychosocial Support
Our psychosocial services provide individuals with tools to support themselves and others, build confidence, strengthen support systems, and empower them to overcome adversity and rebuild their lives with resilience and determination.
Mental Health and Peacebuilding
In conflict-affected areas, sustainable peace depends on addressing psychological and social drivers. Our interventions help people cope with trauma, rebuild support networks, and foster peaceful coexistence, prioritising mental health for lasting stability.
What we achieved in 2023
- 70,000 people received mental health and psychosocial services
- 1,400 people with mental health problems were identified and referred to specialised services
- 300 facility-based healthcare workers were trained on mental health
