| Abstract: | The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) recently launched the mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) Minimum Service Package (MSP). The MSP can address the MHPSS needs of populations affected by humanitarian crises by helping stakeholders coordinate MHPSS responses within and across sectors, addressing gaps, advocating for needs, and planning and implementing activities. It includes high priority MHPSS activities that can be implemented by education, health, child protection, Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and other sectors to ensure that the diverse MHPSS needs of populations affected by emergencies are addressed. A checklist of actions to inform planning and implementation, and a list of relevant guidelines, standards, and tools, are provided for each activity. This brief aims to serve as a guide for education professionals on how to integrate MHPSS into Education in Emergencies (EiE) programming. An overview of MHPSS activities that can be implemented in EiE contexts is detailed, in line with the MHPSS Minimum Service Package. Country examples and case studies are featured. |
