Mental Health and Psychosocial Support during the COVID-19 Response: An Overview
Editat de Joseph O. Prewitt Diazen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2023
This essential book is a call to action for cultural, linguistic, and contextual actions that addresses inclusiveness of the most vulnerable and unheard communities and that re-establishes resilience through mental health and psychosocial community-led programs. The volume is an analysis by a seasoned humanitarian worker with over 30 years of direct experience with the most vulnerable communities, with contributions from several colleagues. They help frame COVID-19 as a systemic loss of protective factors, where communities collapsed psychologically, socially, and economically.

Academic and PostgraduateRecenzii
"An essential read for both mental health and psychosocial support professionals, as well as disaster and crisis leaders and practitioners. Dr. Prewitt Diaz weaves together framing and subject matter expertise that builds on academic research pre-COVID-19 pandemic, emergent literature from 2020 and 2021, as well as key case studies. Most relevant, Dr. Prewitt played a key leadership role in the IFRC America’s COVID-19 operation, supporting the 35 countries that make up the region in designing and implementing robust mental health and psychosocial support programming. . . . Thank you for this vital contribution to the robust mental health and psychosocial support field!"—From the Foreword by Dr. Jono Anzalone, Executive Director at The Climate Initiative, Portland, Maine
“This book travels the communities who, at the end, with the MHPSS model developed individual and collective resilience to overcome their needs and develop behavioral responses to successfully manage those experiences in times of COVID-19. The case studies in the book make it possible to discriminate between the real needs of individuals within each community, leading researchers and service providers to the development of those members of the communities within the context of another disaster. The MHPSS model scientifically collects those best practices to attend, alleviate, develop appropriate behavioral responses, and survive in these times of Covid-19, that have altered the mental health of the population throughout the world. Finally, we cannot lose perspective that this pandemic has changed the way people live, the way of working, studying, interacting, even the way of appreciating and loving.” — Aida I. Rodríguez Roig, EdD, Chancellor, University of Puerto Rico at Humacao
