In an effort to improve coordination and service delivery to the Libyan community affected by the conflict, International Medical Corps Mental Health/ Psychosocial (MHPSS) team would like to invite representatives from Benghazi and eastern Libya to participate in a MHPSS Coordination Workshop next week. The purpose of this meeting will be to gather information from actors providing psychosocial support, and discuss the primary mental health issues that have been observed.
