mhGAP Humanitarian Intervention Guide (mhGAP-HIG)
This clinical management guide from the World Health Organization (WHO) provides evidence-based protocols for addressing mental, neurological, and substance use conditions in humanitarian emergencies. It is widely used by international humanitarian organisations as a standard reference for delivering mental health care in crisis settings. The guide includes structured assessment and management algorithms designed for non-specialist health workers, making it accessible in resource-limited and frontline humanitarian contexts. This resource is essential for clinicians and program planners operating in emergency and displacement settings where specialist mental health services may be unavailable.
