Natural disasters and humanitarian emergencies exert devastating impacts globally. Among these effects are disruptions in mental health and psychosocial well-being. Traditionally, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions have been implemented in response and recovery phases. Yet, the field of disaster management has demonstrated a shift towards disaster risk reduction (DRR). The degree to which the MHPSS field has followed this trend has been limited by several factors, including a lack of consensus-based guidance for MHPSS and DRR integration. However, examples from the field exist and demonstrate the feasibility of taking proactive approaches to supporting mental health and well-being and building better before emergencies occur. The following article outlines two case examples, one project in Sierra Leone and another in India, integrating MHPSS and DRR approaches and principles. Lessons learned from these cases and specific challenges in each context are highlighted and discussed.

自然灾害和人道主义紧急情况在全球范围内造成破坏性影响。这些影响包括精神健康和社会心理健康的中断。传统上，在响应和恢复阶段已实施了心理健康和社会心理支持（MHPSS）干预措施。但是，灾难管理领域已显示出向减少灾难风险（DRR）的转变。MHPSS领域遵循这种趋势的程度受到多个因素的限制，包括缺乏基于共识的MHPSS和DRR整合指南。但是，存在来自该领域的实例，这些实例证明了采取积极的方法来支持心理健康和福祉并在紧急情况发生之前更好地进行锻炼的可行性。下面的文章概述了两个案例示例，塞拉利昂的一个项目和印度的另一个项目，结合了MHPSS和DRR的方法和原则。从这些案例中汲取的教训以及每种情况下的具体挑战都将得到重点介绍和讨论。
