Venezuela after-shock effects: British Association support for psycho-social programme

Thousands are suffering the mental impact of the recent, devastating earthquake. The Order’s British Association has sent financial support to the Order of Malta Venezuela Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Programme for those affected. The programme’s objectives: to deliver psychological support, restore hope, and strengthen the resilience of children, families, and communities.

The multidisciplinary team will address the increasing psychological and psycho-social needs of the population, with coordinated services to continue throughout the emergency response and early recovery phases. Additional support will be provided by trained community volunteers and primary healthcare personnel to strengthen outreach and ensure sustainability of interventions.
