Internal Guidelines for Remote MHPSS Working Modalities

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the psychological and social well-being of individuals, which has been further exacerbated by movement limitations and physical distancing. These changes have caused a shift in the previously used Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) service delivery modalities, to reflect safety measures such as physical distancing and limitations in movement. Since MHPSS is considered to be a key priority in crisis situations to help promote the mental health and social well-being of individuals, these guidelines have been developed to assist MHPSS staff in efficiently delivering services to beneficiaries using remote working modalities.
