Additional Information / Shotlist In Twic County, MSF provides mental health services to displaced populations and host communities, focusing on the provision of counseling and clinical care.

(subtitles)
We receive patients with different conditions ranging from mild, moderate and even severe mental health conditions such as schizophrenia. But also, we receive patients who have attempted suicide.

MSF mental health team raises awareness and help community members identify people in need of mental health support, to refer them to dedicated services.

(subtitles)
My message would be, it's okay to feel not okay. It's better to find someone whom you can talk with, share your concern, and they will be there to listen to your concern. And also, if you see someone who is lonely, anyone who needs support, psychological support, it is better to be there for them. And also, you can even link them with a facility or professional available in your area.

In South Sudan in 2023 so far, MSF teams conducted 6100 mental health consultations, including 800 in Warrap State and Abyei Special Administrative Area.

Mental health is a universal human right.
Everyone should be able to access mental health support.
Let’s break the stigma. Let’s talk about mental health.
