Body Mapping involves a process of creating life-size visual representations that holistically explore peoples’ minds and bodies. Body mapping has been used in participatory projects exploring many topics and with many populations including persons living with HIV/AIDS, refugee youth, undocumented workers, persons living with fibromyalgia, survivors of torture, and survivors of gender-based violence. Resources required include sheet paper or large fabric, markers, or other tools to write with. 

This document provides a one page overview of Body Mapping. 

BODY MAPPING OVERVIEW

The IASC Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for MHPSS Programmes was released for field test in 2017. In 2021, the Common Framework was updated to include qualitative and quantitative means of verification (MoV) for impact-level indicators in the framework. MHPSS.net developed the IASC MHPSS M&E Framework MoV toolkit to accompany the framework and serve as a resource to maintain and disseminate these tools in a single, easy to use format.
