New Report on Planning for Individual and Community Recovery in an Emergency Event

Ministry of Health ,

This high-level principles document outlines the importance of psychosocial recovery when planning how to respond to and recover from an emergency event.

It is aimed primarily at a health sector audience, but should also be useful for other agencies, organisations, providers and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Its purpose is to help orient these organisations towards good practice principles for providing psychosocial support to promote recovery in an emergency event.

The document consists of two sections. Part A outlines key evidence-based principles and good practice for providing psychosocial support to promore recovery in an emergency event. Part B gives suggestions for operational planning actions – how to translate the principles into practice.
