Dear colleagues,

I hope that you are all doing well. 

For the past couple of months, I have been working as a mental health consultant for the WHO, under the supervision of Dr. Khalid Saeed, the Regional Advisor of the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Unit in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. 

We have been working relentlessly on the development of an online mental health and psychosocial support platform, which has been launched today. The platform presents a basic intervention for individuals who might be suffering from difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please feel free to circulate the link http://www.emro.who.int/mhps/index.html

Of course, I will be more than happy if you have comments or feedback about the platform as we will keep updating it to address the needs and concerns presented along the way.

All the best,

Mariam Fishere
