Mental Health & Psychosocial Support
Community of Practice
About this Community
What we share:
- A dedicated, co-created space for MHPSS providers to connect, reflect, and share expertise and resources
- Discussions between mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) providers about the specialized knowledge and skills required to provide effective, cross-cultural, trauma-informed services to refugees and other newcomers
Who should join:
- Staff whose roles primarily consist of providing MHPSS services, including mental health caseworkers, counselors, psychologists, supervisors, and program managers
- CoP members each co-facilitate one session annually on a topic selected by the community
- Co-facilitators do not need to be experts on the chosen topic nor prepare a formal presentation; they will collaborate with other facilitators to frame the conversation, including discussion questions and activities. This model ensures the community is peer-led and maximizes the sharing of ideas and resources responsive to the needs and expertise of participating members
When we meet:
- Fourth Wednesday of each month from 12–1 PM ET
