Abstract
• Since 2011, the conflict in Syria has had a huge impact on its population, many of whom are now displaced
• The Syrian crisis has not only affected the physical health of refugees, but has also had a drastic effect on their mental health
• Wadi Khaled, a rural district in the north of Lebanon, hosts about 36,000 displaced Syrians, and is one of most under-served and marginalized areas of Lebanon
• Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been providing mental health services to Syrian refugees and the Lebanese host population in Akkar, Wadi Khaled since 2016.
