概要

I am a mental health professional, working in the humanitarian and health sector for more than 5 years now. I have worked in Pakistan and did various internships in Germany, Belgium, and Turkey for mental health, (re)integration, well-being, mental health and psychosocial support services (MHPSS) with diverse populations especially migrants, refugees, and displaced populations in the context of emergency, research, and humanitarian projects.
Recently worked as a senior MHPSS officer with the International Medical Corps in Pakistan for a UNHCR-funded project to support health facilities and deliver quality mental health services in Afghan refugee villages in KPK, Pakistan. I also managed operations and provided technical support to psychologists who worked with caregivers and children for psychosocial interventions in flood-affected districts in Sindh.
