We send licensed mental health specialists to the field. As a mental health officer for MSF, you may work with people suffering from post-traumatic stress related to a conflict situation, with victims of sexual violence, or with people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, you could be asked develop a program and to train local mental health workers. Get more information and see what the requirements are here.
