Seamless MHPSS Cross-Border Care (MHPSS CBC) for the most vulnerable children and families (DIF)

We are facing a dramatic increase in forceful displacement and migration. Among displaced populations, those who are on the move face greater difficulties in accessing services. Not being in a specific location, whether in an urban setting, a refugee or IDP camp, they lack continuity of services along the migration route, which leads to chronification of existing and acquired conditions, and an overall increased difficulty in accessing efficient treatments. Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) services are life saving for those who have experienced extreme adversity before and during displacement, and this innovation seeks to identify viable solutions to create continuum of MHPSS care along migration routes. We focus on children and their families on the move, within the wider context of forced displacement, so we contribute solutions to a large proportion of a highly vulnerable, rapidly-growing population that requires access to MHPSS, across a wide range of humanitarian contexts.
