A @DrsWithoutBorders team explains the goals of a comprehensive mental health project for victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence, and also for survivors of sexual violence in the urban area of Tumaco in Colombia. In 2015, MSF shifted its focus in Colombia towards providing mental healthcare. Last year, MSF teams in Tumaco offered mental health support to over 1,500 people who had suffered violence, and offered comprehensive care to 240 victims of sexual violence.
