Abstract: (1 Views)
This policy brief aims to identify structural, cultural, and operational barriers to effective psychosocial rehabilitation after natural disasters in Iran and provide actionable recommendations for improving the existing framework. A mixed-methods approach was applied, including a scoping review of international and national literature and qualitative interviews with 23 experts in mental health, social work, and disaster management. Findings reveal persistent institutional fragmentation, lack of binding frameworks, limited resources, and inequalities in access—particularly for vulnerable groups. Effective rehabilitation requires stronger national coordination, localized and culturally sensitive interventions, adequate training for responders, and sustained community engagement.
