1. Background

Transcultural Psychosocial Organization Nepal (TPO Nepal) is one of Nepal’s leading non-profit, non-governmental organizations working in the field of psychosocial well-being and mental health. Established in 2005, TPO Nepal aims to promote the psychosocial well-being and mental health of children, families, and vulnerable communities affected by conflict, violence, disasters, and poverty.
