The Wilton Park Dialogue, in partnership with Save the Children and the UK Department for International Development, brought together 50 experts in the field of mental health and psychosocial support in January 2018. Together they looked at challenges and ways forward in responding to the mental health needs of children and young people affected by conflict in the Middle East and globally.

This report presents the global roadmap developed by the Dialogue, setting out the priority pathways needed, likely challenges, solutions and necessary collaborations for scaling up mental health and psychosocial support programming for children and adolescents affected by conflict.
