Background:

International Medical Corps (IMC) is a global humanitarian non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering worldwide. Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps is a private, voluntary, non-political, non-sectarian organization. International Medical Corps is an experienced leader in responding to mental health and psychosocial needs in low resource and conflict affected setting and has experience strengthening mental health systems, and informing national policies in the longer-term development context.

In Ukraine, IMC has been implementing JSI/USAID and OFDA funded projects focused on mental health and psychosocial support. The USAID supported project seeks to improve awareness, understanding and application of global MHPSS Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Guidelines at national and local levels in Ukraine.  IMC is translating, contextualizing, disseminating and operationalizing the IASC guidelines. To support this process, IMC facilitates a Task Force represented by INGOs, Academic Institutions and State Ministries. IMC also provides MHPSS technical training, supervision and funding to five local partners. IMC strengthens existing referral mechanisms, including referrals from psychosocial support providers to specialized mental health care by mapping service providers and holding referral workshops. The OFDA funded project works to enhance abilities to cope with psychological distress, increase sense of safety, and improve wellbeing for conflicted affected populations living in the buffer zone of the Government Controlled areas and in Non-Government Controlled areas in the East. For most vulnerable adults including young mothers and older people, social and educational group and individual support opportunities increase wellbeing and decrease isolation. Capacity of partner organizations are built through IASC guidelines, Psychological First Aid and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Humanitarian Emergencies trainings.

This World Bank funded project will focus on carrying out a mental health needs assessment in 3 pilot oblasts, with the goal of generating policy and operational guidance to strengthen integration of mental health into primary health care and community based service platforms as part of Ukraine’s health care reforms. The assessment will focus on the most common mental disorders (anxiety, depression, distress and alcohol abuse) including existing primary health care and community services, human resource capacities as well as ways of coping and help seeking, barriers to care and the financial burden of mental disorders. Based on the assessment results and in coordination with the World Bank, WHO and other stakeholders, the report will outline key policy recommendations for strengthening and expanding community based mental health care in Ukraine under the reform program.
