Community-Based and Integrated Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Project in Cox’s Bazar


Amidst the protracted Rohingya refugee crisis, the mental health and well-being of both refugees and host community members, especially adolescents and youth, remain a pressing concern. Factors like violence, prolonged displacement, limited resources, and a lack of access to quality mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services have profoundly impacted their wellbeing. The transition from adolescence to adulthood also adds another layer of challenges for young people, amplifying the impact of external factors on their mental well-being.

The MHPSS Survey is an initiative under the Community-Based and Integrated Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services in Cox’s Bazar project implemented by UNFPA and its partners with support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The MHPSS Survey was conducted by SANEM under the technical guidance of UNFPA Bangladesh.
