2nd Workshop on WHO Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Capacity Building in Tunisia, 3-6 July 2023
The second workshop in Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Capacity Building, ‘Building Better Before: Scaling up capacity for mental health and psychosocial support preparedness’ was held on 3-6 July 2023 at the WHO Global Centre for Training in Tunis Tunisia. This 4-day workshop, organised by the WHO Department of Mental Health and Substance Use, aimed to teach risk and vulnerability assessment to support evidence-based policy making and practice and to strengthen multisectoral preparedness for real-world hazards through multiple exercise, such as live interjections and case developments.
Dr Ryoma Kayano, Technical Officer, from the WHO Kobe Centre joined this workshop for the second time. Dr Kayano said ‘Developing effective MHPSS services at national level or in the filed requires comprehensive risk and vulnerability assessments. This training workshop includes useful and thought-provoking exercise and discussion with delegates from many different countries and organisations who would benefit from having a good understanding of these assessments.’.
Video recordings for the workshop will be available soon.
