In an emergency, mental health can be the difference between surviving and breaking. Mental health services save lives by helping people cope, heal, and find strength amid chaos. #AccessToServices

In emergencies, those living with severe mental health conditions face double the risk, yet too often, their care is cut off. No one should lose access to treatment because of crises. #AccessToServices

Crisis and conflict often leave lasting scars, not just on communities, but on individuals. For Monica, the impact was deeply personal: she lost both her husband and child. In #SouthSudan, IOM is providing mental health support to displaced people, helping them heal.

Everyone deserves care, especially in crises. Uninterrupted access to mental health support keeps people with severe conditions safe, stable and alive. #AccessToServices

At today's UN interagency briefing on Sudan, IOM spotlighted the urgent humanitarian crisis: the worldโs largest displacement crisis with 9.8M IDPs and 4.3M cross-border movements. Funding gaps threaten lifesaving aid. Stand with us, support action for Sudanโs most vulnerable.

Though funding for mental health care may be small like this reel, our resolve to ensure no one is left behind is not. Mental health is just as important as physical health. #AccessToServices NOW.

Mental health support is a lifeline. At IOM, we make sure mental health is a core part of emergency response efforts, recognizing that invisible wounds need healing too. As #WMHD approaches, we urge increased funding for mental health programs to reach those who need it most.

After fleeing #Ukraine at 88, Yuri found himself alone in #Moldova. At a Mental Health Community Centre in the capital, therapeutic activities and small conversations helped him cope with displacement and loneliness. Healing begins with support. https://t.co/II72ci14V4

Migrants drive progress. When supported with access to jobs, education & healthcare, they uplift both their communities and the ones that welcome them. This piece from @ MariaMoita01 RD for @OIM_LAC calls for inclusive integration across the region. https://t.co/XFBFssguI7

In times of crisis, care for the mind is care for life. Ahead of #WMHD, we must stand for mental health as a human right, especially for those facing conflict, displacement, and disaster. #AccessToServices

From stigma to system. Dr. Yacoub returned to #Somaliland with a vision: make mental health care a national priority. Today, thanks to his persistence, services exist in six cities, reaching 25,000+ people and breaking the chains of shame. https://t.co/I5GwqkhWTe
