    In the presence of the President of the Republic of Burkina Faso: ICESCO webinar to discuss mental health and strengthening resilience during crises

    24 June 2020

    The high-level webinar, to be held by the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO), on Thursday 25 June 2020, will discuss one of the most impactful steps in the fight against the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is that of harnessing citizens’ mental health and psychological and social support in the context of crises and vulnerability.

    The meeting will be graced by the participation of H.E. Mr. Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, President of the Republic of Burkina Faso, as the guest of honor. The meeting will also see the participation of Ms. Amira El-Fadil Mohammad El-Fadil, African Union Commissioner for Social Affairs, in addition to a host of prominent experts in the field of mental health and psychological and social support.

    The meeting, to be opened by Dr. Salim M. AlMalik, ICESCO Director-General, will kick off at 09:00 a.m. GMT (10:00 Rabat Time), under the title, “Harnessing Mental Health and Psychological and Social Support in the Context of Crises and Vulnerability”.

    The meeting will be an opportunity to assess international organizations’ programs on mental health situations due to the crisis and discuss the prospects on how to alleviate them. It will also provide a platform to exchange field expertise among prominent practitioners and experts on the impact of crises on mental health and innovative psychological and social support mechanisms to address them. The meeting will be organized in three sessions, namely “Perspectives from Experts and Practitioners: Mental Health and Psychosocial Support to Build Resilient Societies,”; “Gender-based violence and Mental Health,”; and “The Way Forward”.

    It is worth mentioning that this is the third meeting in the Webinar Series ‘Societies We Want”, held in cooperation between ICESCO Sector of Human and Social Sciences, the Policy Center for the New South, and the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences of Mohamed V University in Rabat. The “Societies We Want” initiative was officially launched by ICESCO on 30 April 2020 to spread knowledge and implement innovative programs to contribute to building healthy, peaceful, prosperous, inclusive, and resilient societies, a goal proved crucial in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
