In response to COVID-19-related stress and a 16 percent increase in domestic violence reports after the onset of the pandemic, HP+ developed and delivered a three-day training for 43 staff members from eight of Honduras's health regions in psychosocial first aid and guidelines for mental healthcare and psychosocial support for victims and survivors of all forms of violence, with a special emphasis on care of survivors of domestic and sexual violence. The training was held virtually in late April 2022. The average knowledge gain among participants who completed the pre- and post-tests was 23 percent. In addition, HP+ developed posters and a pamphlet for health facilities to inform healthcare workers and raise awareness of the critical topics of mental health and psychosocial support associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Health plans to distribute the materials to approximately 400 of the country’s prioritized primary care centers.
