Abstract:
In spite of their tragic nature and notwithstanding the human suffering they create emergency situations are also opportunities to build better mental health care. The surge of aid combined with sudden focused attention on themental health of the population creates unparalleled opportunities to transform mentalhealth care for the long term. By publishing this information the World Health Organization aims to ensure that thosefaced with emergencies do not miss the opportunity for mental health reform.Emergencies are not only mental health tragedies but also powerful catalysts forachieving sustainable mental health care in affected communities. We do not knowwhere the next major emergency will be but we do know that those affected will havethe opportunity to build back better. Reading this publication is an excellent way toprepare for and respond to that eventuality. The ten cases that form the core of this report show how it can be done. Earlycommitment towards a longer-term perspective for mental health reform is key tosuccess. The report summarizes lessons learnt and key overlapping practices emergingfrom these experiences.
