Community mental health

Over the past three years, Mainline, together with SCDI – a Vietnamese based NGO- has worked extensively to design bottom-up and pragmatic harm reduction interventions in response to the increased use of meth-amphetamines in the South-East Asian region. This resulted in the establishment of the Hanoi 'Stimulant Field Lab'.

For this new assignment, Mainline applies the community mental health repsonses that were designed for the Field Lab. Together with Best Shelter this method will be adjusted to fit the high-conflict area of Kachin State. 

Online and on-site learning

Up to the end of the first quarter of 2023, Mainline will translate several blended learning courses into Burmese, adjust the course on mental health to fit the specific context of Myanmar and train teams of outreach workers en programme staff. The assignment ends with a visit of two Best Shelter staff members to the Vietnamese Stimulant Field Lab.
