Conflict, Displacement and Mental Health

Seminar

series event

About the Seminar:

The past decade has seen humanitarian events that are unparalleled in their magnitude of public health catastrophe. There are currently over 21 million displaced forced migrants. The effect of conflict induced displacement has a profound ramification on the mental health and wellbeing of those affected. This seminar aims to highlight the impact of forced migration on mental health and discuss the challenges of detecting and treating those in need of mental health support.

Session one will begin by presenting an unpublished case study on the health sector response to a humanitarian operation in Sri Lanka, followed by a presentation on mental health interventions in post-conflict populations in the region. Session two will shift the focus to mental health delivery in populations affected by more recent conflicts in Syria and Ukraine. The session will close with a panel discussion.
