00:00 – 00:06 – Nusrat, Counsellor Educator - “Mobile Clinics”, Qurat, Community Mental Health Worker – “MRT Team”, Dr Arshad Hussain, Project Coordinator Support - “Mobile Response Team”, Qaisar, Mobile Response Team Driver – “MRT means mobile response team”, Christoph Friedl, Project Coordinator & Mental Health Activity Manager - “The Mobile Response Team.”
00:08 – 00:15 – VO – “After the 2015 mental health survey, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) realized that a lot of people who need mental healthcare, find it difficult to access it.”
00:17 – 00:27 – Dr Arshad Hussain, Project Coordinator Support - “It was one of the proposals. One team who actually go to border areas and to cut off areas and difficult to reach areas and then MRT came into existence.
00:27 – 00:47 – Qurat, Community Mental Health Worker - “Our day-to-day plan includes, active monitoring on social networking websites, reading print (daily newspapers), checking on electronic media(news channels) to identify those cases where a family is going through a crisis. Then we create a baseline data in our office after which”
00:48 – 00:58 – Qaisar, Mobile Response Team Driver – “we identify exact location using Google Maps to reach there. We also utilize our internal (known) connections by calling them to understand the exact path and discussing within our team and”
00:59 – 01:06 - Qurat, Community Mental Health Worker – “With the help of our program team, we identify which cases require immediate action or need at that point.”
01:07 – 01:14 – Christoph Friedl, Project Coordinator & Mental Health Activity Manager - “So that means we have a mobile team there is a driver, a community health worker and a counsellor and they go to different places in Kashmir”
01:15 – 01:39 – Mudasir Mushtaq, Counsellor Educator -“because when we talk about communities, it is very important to know that if community is accepting us or not. Being a psychologist by profession and my designation is also a counsellor, so I had a very limited knowledge about the community, but Qurat makes sure how to reach communities to build connections while identifying the right people to talk to.”
01:40 – 01:58 - Qurat, Community Mental Health Worker – “And besides this, if I feel that I need help of counsellor, I can call him anytime. He accompanies (me), he makes me understand that in this situation I can apply this (a particular) technique or in a given situation this is how I should deal with it, still if I am not able to figure out, he is there to help.
01:59 – 02:02 - Mudasir Mushtaq, Counsellor Educator – “And on the field, we also have Qaisar (our driver) with us.”
02:08 – 02:22 - Qurat, Community Mental Health Worker – “There have been instances where after seeing MSF car people approach our driver enquiring about, what we (MSF) do, why we (MSF) are here. He then, enlightens then about MSF and also distribute IEC material to them while we are busy with our sessions.”
02:23 – 02:49 - Christoph Friedl, Project Coordinator & Mental Health Activity Manager –“So our community approach is not about counselling. It’s more about raising awareness and identifying people and referring them to our counseling service. I think this is a very interesting approach and we are outside of the hospital, so we are in their home. We are going to those people and support them directly where they feel comfortable.”
