For over 60 years we provide relief and recovery for people during and following conflicts and disasters around the world. Christian values and humanitarian principles form the foundations of our work. In over 30 countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East, we support people in need – regardless of their religion, origin or political convictions.The mental health context in Yemen is characterized by a critical shortage of qualified professionals and limited availability of services across the country. Access to specialized care remains extremely constrained, particularly within the public health system, where the number of psychiatrists, psychologists, and trained mental health personnel is insufficient to meet population needs. In response to these challenges, ADRA Yemen has implemented a range of initiatives aimed at strengthening Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) services. Within the framework of the BMZ-funded project “Strengthening the Yemen Health System, Local Peacebuilding and Gender Equality in Abyan, Taiz and Lahj (SYHS+)”, Malteser International collaborates on the MHPSS capacity-building component. The intervention is designed to enhance the delivery of MHPSS services through targeted training provision and technical support to the local healthcare system, thereby contributing to improved service quality, accessibility, and sustainability.Malteser International is seeking a consultant for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Training of Trainers - Yemen (Online).The purpose of this consultancy is to strengthen Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) capacity within the project framework through the design and delivery of a Training-of-Trainers (ToT) programme.
