An inclusive community is a valuable resource and unfortunately rare when it comes to people with psychosocial disabilities.
Together with MASHAV, MASHAV Carmel Training Center, and Israel at the UN-Geneva, we created a webinar highlighting the need for community resilience to promote better inclusion.
Dr. Devora Kestel, from the World Health Organization, presented the global trends on COVID-19 impacts on mental health.
We shared some lessons we have learned with the International community and highlighted the knowledge on community-based mental health services- especially the importance of lived experience, family support and volunteering.
We were honored to welcome the Israeli ambassador to the UN, Geneva Meirav Eilon Shahar, and Einat Shlain from the Israel ministry of foreign affairs.
