We stand beside our partners at Partners in Health and the people of Haiti as they cope with the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that took place on January 12th. The priority now is emergency patient care: our colleagues at Partners in Health are mobilizing their incredible team in Haiti and bringing in additional doctors and material to provide emergency medical treatment. We know that the PIH team in Haiti is thinking seriously about how to address mental health and psychosocial support, both short and long-term. A technical working group, which includes representatives from the Peter C. Alderman Foundation and Partners in Health, is planning to collaborate with the Haitian Ministry of Health in working towards a lasting system of care for mental health in Haiti. As work in providing for emergency mental health assistance and long-term mental health care in Haiti progresses, we will keep you posted.


The mission of the Peter C. Alderman Foundation is to heal the emotional wounds of  victims  of  terrorism  and  mass violence by training health care professionals and establishing clinics in post-conflict countries around the globe.
