We look back at a year defined by instability, conflict and crises knowing that this was, is, and will likely remain the conditions under which we seek to fulfill our mandate to improve mental health and psychosocial well-being. We do this knowing that we must continue to develop our work and take part in meeting these challenges – as IFRC staff members and as part of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
