[psych-hr] Re: Psychologists without frontiers

Mental Health Workers Without Borders does exist. It is a very loose
network of mental health workers interested in trauma response,
psychosocial rehabilitation in poorer countries, mental health policy,
etc.  It has a web site (mhwwb.org) which includes a manual on responding
to disasters (in English and in Spanish) and material on self-care for
humanitarian aid workers. It is not a membership organization, though in
some places, small groups of people have self-constituted a local
"chapter," and it does not as an organization, provide services, unlike,
eg, Doctors without Borders. For more information, contact Martin
Gittelman (gittem01@med.nyu.edu).
