In 2022, the IFRC Asia Pacific mental health
and psychosocial support (MHPSS) training
and learning collaborative proactively provided
technical support through emergency response,
capacity building, and knowledge management
and information sharing to scale up MHPSS
services in the region. Through this tripartite
set-up, the Collaborative received technical
guidance from the IFRC Reference Centre for
Psychosocial Support, working closely with the
IFRC in responding to regional emergencies, and
supported by the Hong Kong Red Cross Branch
in organizing regional capacity-building activities.
The Collaborative supported seven MHPSS train-
ing events – including psychological first aid and
psychological first aid for vaccine hesitancy and
pandemic fatigue – for 16 National Societies and
IFRC delegations. The Collaborative also sup-
ported 18 webinars on MHPSS, reaching more
than 500,000 people.
The IFRC Asia Pacific MHPSS Network was
launched in April 2022 to create a platform
for the region’s National Societies to promote
awareness, effectively deliver MHPSS activities
across programmes, enhance the impact of
regional work, and support the implementation
of global strategies. The MHPSS network cur-
rently includes 17 National Societies and four
IFRC Delegation members. The Collaborative has
also supported the East Asia MHPSS Technical
Working Group Meetings since July 2022.
