\"guia-saude-mentalcapa-212x300\"<\/a>The mhGAP Humanitarian Intervention Guide<\/a>, recently released , contains first-line management recommendations for mental, neurological and substance use conditions for non-specialist health-care providers working in humanitarian emergencies.<\/p>\n

The Guide will help accelerate the provision of mental health care to children and adults in countries impacted by humanitarian emergencies such as Syria, Yemen, and more recently Nepal.<\/p>\n

The mhGAP Humanitarian Intervention Guide contains first-line management recommendations for mental, neurological and substance use conditions for non-specialist health-care providers in humanitarian emergencies where access to specialists and treatment options is limited. It is a simple, practical tool that aims to support general health facilities in areas affected by humanitarian emergencies in assessing and managing acute stress, grief, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, epilepsy, intellectual disability, harmful substance use and risk of suicide.<\/p>\n

This new tool is an adaptation of WHO\u2019s mhGAP Intervention Guide, a widely-used evidence-based manual for the management of these conditions in non-specialized health settings.<\/p>\n
