Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that any discussion of building and sustaining peace must recognize the importance of mental health and psychosocial wellbeing.
The aim of this high-level event is to discuss how Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) can help individuals and communities retain or regain resilience, strengthen solidarity and cohesion, address trauma, and foster reconciliation in the context of COVID-19. The event will explore how MHPSS can help counter social disintegration and support efforts to build and sustain peace, and the discussion will contribute to the formal phase of the 2020 UN Peacebuilding Architecture Review.
