"Armed conflicts and natural disasters cause significant psychological and social suffering to affected populations. The psychological and social impacts of emergencies may be acute in the short term, but they can also undermine the long-term mental health and psychosocial well-being of the affected population. These impacts may threaten peace, human rights and development. One of the priorities in emergencies is thus to protect and improve people's mental health and psychosocial well-being".

From the introduction to "IASC Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings".

 



    But we refused to believe that the
bank of justice is bankrupt.
We refuse to believe that there
are insufficient funds in the great
vaults of opportunity of this
nation. And so, we've come to
cash this check, a check that will
give us upon demand the riches
of freedom and the security of
justice.      
Martin Luther King
