Abstract

This chapter describes a framework for intervention approaches in which Sociocultural and protective factors are central considerations, and discusses recent research findings in this area. The chapter starts with an overview of how ecological and resilience perspectives are currently integrated in consensus guidelines for mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions in armed conflicts. Subsequently, we summarize research findings on resilience and effectiveness of interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMlCs) affected by armed conflicts. We end the chapter with examples of intervention approaches that highlight some of these principles. Our focus is on LMICs as the large majority of armed conflicts take place there.
