Abstract:
This article presents an overview of the mental health response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

This information will be of value to mental health professionals and policy specialists interested in mental health in Haiti, and in the delivery of mental health services in particularly resource-limited contexts in the setting of disasters.
