PROBLEM MANAGEMENT PLUS (PM+): Individual psychological help for adults impaired by distress in communities exposed to adversity

Problem Management Plus (PM+) is an evidence-based individual psychological intervention for adults impaired by psychological distress. PM+ was originally designed for communities exposed to adversity (such as chronic poverty, long-term humanitarian emergencies, displacement and similar events and conditions). People in these communities may experience loss of family, friends and livelihoods, and may confront many extreme stressors. People who face such adversities are at a greater risk of developing mental health problems. PM+ is effective in reducing distress indicators – such as symptoms of depression and anxiety – and improving positive mental health outcomes.
