The II International Conference on Mental Health of Forcibly Displaced Persons is the culmination of our ongoing commitment of KAIVALYA, Ukrainian Voices Refugee Committee, Social Health Orientation Centre, Ukrainian Civil Society Hub, to advancing mental health initiatives within refugee communities.
