  • Barriers and facilitators to integrating mental health and psychosocial support into economic inclusion programming for displaced families in ecuador

    Open AccessDaniela Vergara, Arianna Moyano et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2026

    Background Displaced populations have increased rates of mental health problems, which have been shown to have a bidirectional relationship with economic insecurity. Despite growing calls globally to integrate mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) with economic inclusion (EI) programming, few models exist for practical implementation. We co-developed and piloted the Building the Future Toolkit (i.e., the Toolkit), an integrated MHPSS-EI …

  • Access to mental health and psychosocial support among migrants in transit in Colombia

    Open AccessM Claire Greene, Diany Castellar et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2026

    Extended periods of transit have become a defining feature of migration, driven by restrictive externalization policies globally and under-resourced health and social protection systems in transit countries. Migrants in transit-individuals actively migrating between their place of origin and intended destination-are disproportionately exposed to violence, exploitation, and other adversities that increase their risk for mental health problems.

    We need a renewed vision for global health as well as a renewed vision of ourselves in it. If, as researchers and practitioners, we spend too much time protecting our careers and our funding sources at any costs, and too little time with the people we aim to help, we will struggle to both recognise their suffering as suffering and accept the extent to which we can be profoundly mistaken in what these people need. To improve health for all, we nee…

  • Sealing the Past, Facing the Future

    Alastair Ager, Lindsay Stark et al.ARTICLEGirlhood Studies2010Cited by: 1References: 3

    This paper reports on an evaluation of a program in Sierra Leone that sought to support the community reintegration of young women and girls formerly associated with armed groups and forces. In the absence of baseline data, we used locally-derived indicators of reintegration and village timelines to conduct a retrospective cohort study of the progress of 142 girls and young women towards achievement of community reintegration following their expe…
