Mental Health and Psychosocial Support for First Responders What Works and What Does Not

This publication compiles a summary of literature focusing on psychosocial support available for first responders, it also specifically looks at psychosocial support available for female first responders within Low and Middle Income Countries. As an area that has received very limited attention in the past, we hope that this publication will provide practitioners with greater insights into the psychosocial needs of first responders, locally and across the region We hope that the publication will help create more awareness on the psychosocial needs of first responders, and provide more opportunities for first responders to gain access to the psychosocial support they require, particularly following a disaster.
