An interim briefing note (developed by the IASC’s Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support) that summarises key mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) considerations in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak and suggests a broad set of interventions on how to respond to these issues, including supporting older adults, tailored support for people with a disability, specific messaging for children, and broad social messaging.
