About

This 71-page document is a three-day mental health intervention curriculum for use with communities affected by natural disasters in Nepal. Its intervention objectives are reducing mental health symptoms; increasing functioning; increasing use of coping skills; reducing mental health stigma; increasing mental health knowledge/literacy; increasing disaster preparedness knowledge and behaviors; increasing help-giving behaviors (social support) for disasters generally, and mental health specifically; and increasing help-seeking behavior (informal and formal resources) for disasters generally, and mental health specifically.
