New role play guidance for facilitators of MHPSS trainings out

Role plays are a powerful tool that can provide insight and depth during a learning process. However, effectively utilizing and facilitating role plays can be a challenge for even the most experienced facilitators. This guidance is written specifically to support facilitators in the effective use of role plays in training on mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS).

The Red Cross Red Crescent (RCRC) Movement MHPSS Hub (MHPSS Hub) is dedicated to advancing mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) throughout the RCRC Movement. Hosted by the Danish Red Cross, the Hub collaborates with National Societies, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), as well as international humanitarian organizations and academic institutions. By uniting expertise from across the Movement and beyond, we help build stronger, more resilient communities better equipped to cope with crises and recover from adversity.
