The MHPSS Toolkits
The MHPSS Network toolkits are collections of best practices and resources collected and curated by our staff together with the community.

Mapping and Assessment Report Repository
The Mapping and Assessment (M&A) Report Repository is a searchable collection of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) needs assessments, mappings, and desk reviews that have been conducted in humanitarian settings.
“The MHPSS community must leverage existing knowledge more effectively; this repository serves as a one-stop resource for assessments, mappings, and desk reviews, enabling informed and impactful interventions worldwide.”
Community-Based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Resource Collection
This collection offers access to key guidance, manuals, tools, case studies and other resources related to the use of Community-Based approaches to Mental Health and psychosocial Support (CB-MHPSS).
“The CB-MHPSS Resource Collection aims to provide practitioners with the practical and conceptual tools to be able to design, implement and evaluate community-based MHPSS activities and processes.”
The Children and Families Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Resource Collection
The Children and Families MHPSS Resource Collection offers access to a wide range of key materials that are relevant to mental health and psychosocial support work with children and families across humanitarian and development settings.
“The aim of this collection of resources is to provide practitioners, policy-makers and others who work to support children and families with a easy-to-access, first-stop repository when they need to find materials to support their efforts across the programme cycle and beyond.”
IASC MHPSS M&E FRAMEWORK MOV
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.
“The monitoring and evaluation of MHPSS programmes can often be a challenge for practitioners and agencies in the field. The landmark IASC Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework was developed to provide a shared basis on which the impact of diverse interventions could be assessed, and the inclusion of recommended means of verification in the 2021 update will offer significant additional support to those trying to assess the impact of their work in the field”
MHPSS and EIE
The MHPSS and EiE Toolkit offers access to key documents and resources of relevance to those working in the fields of Education in Emergencies (EiE) and of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS).
“The aim of this toolkit is to increase understanding between the two sectors, to encourage dialogue for planning and programming, and ultimately to strengthen the quality of MHPSS and education responses in emergencies.”
Emergency
This toolkit is a compilation of a range of several practice guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) in humanitarian contexts, to enable easy access to key multi-lingual resources.
