This May, we shine a spotlight on Mental Health Awareness. The world is facing a mental health crisis that demands action. According to the World Health Organization, nearly all those affected by #humanitarian emergencies experience psychological distress. Humanitarian workers operate in highly stressful contexts and face challenges to their wellbeing and mental health. In solidarity with the global movement to tackle stigma around mental health, and to support those in humanitarian contexts, we highlight free mental health support resources on our digital learning platform #Kaya: Mental Health and Psychosocial Wellbeing of Adolescents Affected by Conflict 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eC7XSCEm Staff Care and Wellbeing 🔗 https://lnkd.in/emrCJ2Tx Wellness and Resilience for Frontline Workers and Managers 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gWt6XKA #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MHPSS
