Mental Health support as A Vehicle for Women's Resilience to face Crisis in Haiti With the support of PBF and the WPHF, populations affected by violence in Haiti, particularly girls and women, have received psychosocial support services to navigate the ongoing crisis in the country. Among the results obtained, there has been the technical and institutional strengthening of 4 CSOs partner, 7 CBOs, and 4 mental health care structures in the commune of Cit� Soleil, which has been a favored ground for gangs since 2022. This has allowed them to offer adequate, quality and effective psychosocial care to more than 2637 survivors of violence, as of November 2024. Awareness-raising and training have promoted active, dedicated women capable of making their voices heard while promoting their development, knowledge of their rights, and informed involvement in decision-making in their respective community. Self-esteem, resilience, and young girls capacities built through the provision of psychosocial support services, social leadership training, and the implementation of inclusive peace consolidation initiatives. Faced with mobility difficulties, the development and dissemination of mobile applications and alert systems, respectively ALO TOYA and KONEKTEM(available on Playstore and Appstore), were deemed necessary by two national partner organizations to facilitate remote care for survivors who could not travel to access in-person care due to insecurity or physical limitations. A large audience of women and girls (more than 330) benefited in a very confidential and secure manner by establishing discussion spaces, interactive dialogue, and peer learning between young people, men, and women in communities reaching more than 1700 people. in collaboration with government entities like Office de protection des Citoyens and the Ministry of Health, consultation and synergy developed with civil society institutions (CONCERN, TOYA, Fondation Essences_Elles, Rapha House), involvement of community leaders and notables in violence fight and provide necessary support to victims has been a strategy to make durable actions even after the implementation period. The governement through the Health Ministry has developped a standardized national protocol for the psychosocial care of survivors of violence against women and girls (VAWG) to provide guidelines to mental health professional service providers (judicial, police, health, social, and educational fields) to improve the response in supporting survivors with comprehensive assistance and adequate protection, to avoid secondary victimization. This protocol is part of the 2017-2027 national plan developed by the Ministry of Health together with the Ministry of gender. The initiative and tangible results obtained constitute an important contribution to the 3rd Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) - Good Health and Well-being, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages.
