Having survived dangerous journeys in search of safety in Europe, they have been trapped on the Islands for years, exacerbating feelings of insecurity, loneliness and hopelessness.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order to address this gap, in early 2021, INTERSOS established a Mental Health and Psychosocial Support intervention aimed at providing comprehensive psychosocial care to vulnerable women and to enhance the general mental health response.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Currently, INTERSOS MHPSS \u00a02022 intervention targets women and men who belong to vulnerable groups presenting signs or psychological distress, particularly those who have survived gender-based violence and\/or are the sole or primary caregivers of a dependent family member.<\/p>\n The MHPSS INTERSOS Team, composed of psychologists, Case Managers and cultural mediators. The aim of the intervention, in the frame of full case management support, is to provide comprehensive psychosocial care to the persons, through individual and group sessions along with high-quality referrals of the beneficiaries to other services and support.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Cultural Mediator supports the implementation of the Communication with Communities Strategy of INTERSOS, ensuring a Community-based approach is adopted.
