In December 2019, the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement adopted a set of commitments addressing mental health and psychosocial needs, including resolution 2 of the 33rd International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. This roadmap (2020–2023) has been developed to supports a strategic and coordinated approach to implementation of these commitments, with the aim to strengthen the Movement’s collective response to mental health and psychosocial needs.
