People facing crises encounter barriers to mental health support. Find out what the IRC is doing to help.

The IRC’s integrated network of support for early childhood programming ensures that babies and young children are receiving appropriate health and nutrition, cared for by nurturing and consistent caregivers in a safe and supportive environment, developing essential cognitive and social and emotional skills, and engaging in play and early learning experiences.

Signpost, led by the IRC, delivers vital info to crisis-hit communities via digital hubs. Active in 30 countries, 25 languages, it uses service mapping and AI to support displaced people.

Today, more than half of the world’s displaced people live in urban areas and the average length of displacement is 25 years. The humanitarian sector must adapt to meet the challenges of an urbanizing world and the increasing role of cities as places of refuge and economic opportunity, as well as sites of heightened risk of crisis, marginalization and inequality.
