3. Background

The past decades of conflict and instability in Afghanistan have put considerable strain on traditional coping mechanisms and survival strategies among Afghan people. The displacement of populations, both internally and externally, due to conflict over the decades has disrupted extended family structures, rendering the population vulnerable to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) and SUD.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Good Health and Well-Being
