Abstract:
This research paper examines the impact and effectiveness of the Afghan Support Program's (ASP) innovative telepsychiatry initiative in addressing the mental health challenges faced by Afghan refugees and communities enduring complex emergencies, and it also plays a crucial role in capacity building of Afghan refugees by providing training and support to local healthcare workers in that region. The study utilizes a mixed-method longitudinal design to analyze data collected from 1,000 patients. The result indicates that ASP's telepsychiatry program plays the significant role in improving mental health care for Afghans, offering a range of interventions, including medication management and crisis intervention. The positive outcomes highlight the potential of Telepsychiatry to provide effective and accessible mental health services during a humanitarian crisis.
