Emergency Response and Psychosocial Support

August 24, 2026

Following the 2026 Flores earthquake, Yayasan Kasira Setia Abadi funded KUN Humanity System+ to deliver a 30-day Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) program for affected communities in Manggarai and East Manggarai, NTT. The program has been completed.

Integrated into KUN’s existing mobile medical response, the program provided psychosocial support alongside essential healthcare services.

Activities included community outreach and Psychological First Aid (PFA), support for frontline health workers, and capacity-building for local primary healthcare centers (Puskesmas) and the District Health Office. The program also focused on strengthening the identification and referral of people who required additional mental health support.

By integrating psychosocial support with existing medical outreach and local health services, the initiative addressed mental health needs during the emergency recovery period while supporting local capacity to respond to psychosocial needs.
