Tóm tắt :

Background:Armed conflict, economic collapse, the 2020 explosion, the COVID-19 pandemic, and persistent political and social instability have had severe impact on mental health in Lebanon.Aim:To highlight the critical elements for setting up a free community-based mental health care centre in Lebanon.Methods:Following the Beirut blast in 2020, a non-government organization started providing free, essential, personcentred, and holistic mental health care to residents in Lebanon through a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and mental health nurses.Results:During its first year of operation, the health centre provided 5392 free mental health consultations to 590 beneficiaries. Majority (67%) of the beneficiaries were female, and nearly half (45%) were aged 18–24 years. The most prevalent mental health disorders were major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Beneficiaries self-reported a 70% improvement in depression and a 76% improvement in anxiety after 3 months of treatment.Conclusion:Based on our experience, we advocate the community-based model as an effective approach to delivering mental health interventions and recommend a continuous evaluation of its impact in community settings.
