Project profile — Ukraine crisis – mental health, winterization and protection - Adra Canada 2024-2027

With DFATD’s support, ADRA is providing gender, age and disability-responsive mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services, alongside the distribution of environment-friendly winter kits to 56,858 (55% women, 15% girls, 25% men, 5% boys) rightsholders with intersecting vulnerabilities (including women, men, ex-combatants, children and people with disabilities). Project activities include: (1) providing age and gender responsive and inclusive MHPSS according to culturally accepted norms; (2) facilitating community-based MHPSS and peer support groups that are inclusive and responsive to different ages and genders; (3) providing gender training and awareness to staff and communities; (4) distributing environment-friendly winter kits to households and providing training on environment-friendly energy use.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased immediate access to age and gender responsive, inclusive and culturally appropriate mental health and psychosocial support for persons suffering conflict related critical mental health and psychosocial life-threatening challenges; (2) increased access to essential environment-friendly household winterization kits to vulnerable conflict-affected households; and (3) enhanced gender responsive and inclusive access to SGBV and SRHR referral services for women, adolescent girls and other survivors. The expected ultimate outcome is to reduce suffering, increase and maintain human dignity, and lives saved in conflict-affected population in Ukraine.
