The psychological side of disasters, conflict, work and climate

Mental health and psychosocial risk

Twin figures for Delhi and its National Capital Territory core, counted from its layers at their stated dates.

Twin builder and simulator.

For Mental health and psychosocial risk: the faculty's twin of Delhi on the planet map, the globe and in 3D. Pick a generator, switch layers, run the instruments; every layer prints its provider and date.

Delhi and its National Capital Territory core: a flat plan of the faculty twin. Terrain 191 to 315 m; 950 hospitals; 26,073,018 people in the box, 2020; Population density, GPW v4.11 (2020): live, loads in the twin; Air quality, Copernicus CAMS via Open-Meteo (hourly, 5 days): live, loads in the twin; Nitrogen dioxide column, TROPOMI (Sentinel-5P): live, loads in the twin; Surface air temperature, AIRS (daily, day): live, loads in the twin; Urban heat island, summer daytime 2013: live, loads in the twin; Built-up and settlement extent, HBASE 2010: live, loads in the twin. Contours every 50 metres from the elevation grid; people per cell, worldpop 2020 as four classes per cell (edges 4,474, 14,627, 25,652); hospitals as marks.

The discipline in brief.

The discipline teaches mental health and psychosocial support in emergencies under the IASC guidelines, psychological first aid, trauma and post-traumatic stress with the resilience most people show, psychosocial risk at work under ISO 45003:2021, climate change and mental health, suicide prevention and community-based support, with the measurement problems each raises. It treats mental health as part of risk assessment, not an afterthought of response. A graduate can plan psychosocial support for a response, assess psychosocial risk in a workplace and choose a measure of well-being with its limits.

This area covers mental health as a dimension of risk: the psychological effects of disasters, conflict, displacement and climate change, psychosocial risk at work, and the services and community support that protect mental health. It is taught in the department of Human Development, Work and Social Policy, Faculty of Health and Society, through courses still to be authored.
