The PS Centre proved itself when we got MHPSS into a Resolution and Policy. It’s managed to integrate MHPSS into IFRC and the work. Now nobody questions whether non-physical health is important, and everybody recognises that it’s something we need to deal with. MHPSS is high on the to-do list of National Societies in Europe, and without the Centre and the consistent push, this wouldn’t have happened.
