Protecting Futures in Crisis: Building Resilience Through Education and Mental Health in Humanitarian Setting

Humanitarian crises are reshaping the lives of millions of children and young people, putting their education, mental health, and futures at risk. This session will bring together global insights, frontline evidence and Member State leadership to explore how humanitarian responses can better protect learning, strengthen mental health and psychosocial support, and drive lasting policy change. The conversation will also consider the well-being of humanitarian staff themselves, recognizing that those who support crisis-affected communities also need care. From the global picture to national action, the discussion will spotlight the partnerships and commitments needed to turn urgency into impact.
