October 21, 2014
(Sci Dev Net) – The number of Ebola cases is roughly doubling every three weeks. With families being torn apart and thousands of children already orphaned and abandoned due to the stigma associated with the disease, UNICEF’s regional director for West and Central Africa Manuel Fontaine has called for both traditional and new ways to provide psychosocial support. According to UN News Centre, this will include training 400 new mental health workers in Liberia.
