Lebanon
Lebanon continues to face overlapping public health and mental health challenges driven by war and conflict, prolonged economic crisis, social instability, and strain on essential services. Rising poverty, displacement, and reduced access to healthcare have intensified psychosocial stress and increased mental health needs, while overstretched health systems struggle to meet growing public health demands. In the face of current renewed war, loss of life, and displacement within the country the humanitarian crisis has only accelerated.
Solidarity Coalition addresses these challenges through community-based mental health treatment and psycho-social support, capacity building and strengthening of local health care providers, and public health education.
Working in close partnership with local service NGOs partners and providers to help strengthen the local health care service system, our approach emphasizes acute and long-term treatment, as well as prevention, early intervention, and individual and communal resilience-building, to improve access to care, promote mental well-being, and support sustainable public health responses, rooted in community needs and cultural context.
