Safety. Belonging. Community.
All of us have these basic psychological needs. But for people who have survived devastating crises, it is often difficult to find and rebuild these fundamentals to social and emotional well-being.
Mental health services are a key part of Mercy Corps’ work with people recovering from conflict, disaster, and poverty. Below are a few examples of this work in action — but first, let us know you agree that mental health support is critical to community recovery with a gift that supports our impact for communities across the globe!
