And so we first we try to talk to the leaders in the community and understand who are the people in the community that people turn to when they want to talk about mental health.

So where do they want to go?

Is that a health clinic or maybe it's just a school or community space?

And then when we create the interventions, we want to make sure that we're using very locally relevant examples.

Like maybe, you know, if we're working in a more Western context,

Maybe the stressors that people have are related to like their jobs or personal issues.

But in these crisis settings, maybe their challenges would go around accessing water livelihoods.

And so we make sure that the examples we're using are locally relevant.

And then the way that we deliver support also changes.

So in some contexts, individual counseling might feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable, especially if people are used to more collective ways of coping.

So group-based approaches like community support groups might actually be more effective, but then maybe in some settings, they don't want to spill their personal problems in front of the whole group.

And so in those settings, we choose to do more individual therapy.

And then also we have to recognize that some communities already have their coping mechanisms.

You know, maybe in the more Western setting, we think, oh, journaling is a great way for people to improve their mental health.

But then in other cultural settings, what might be more effective for them are faith-based practices, maybe storytelling or community rituals.

So we want to make sure that we respect those cultural considerations.

Yeah, so this comes into my questions for me.

It comes into my concepts related to resilience, right?

And what it would look like in these settings.

Oftentimes in these settings, resilience and recovery, it isn't this dramatic, heroic thing.
