1. Financial update
The Centre came out of 2015 relatively with only a minor overspending and is able to sustain activities at almost the same level in 2016, while in 2017 we need more funding to maintain the current level.
Finnish Red Cross stopped funding the Centre while new ones started. We have very little funding for communication now.
There is still a need to diversify the funding base and to crack the code in accessing the much needed support.
Funding is scarce in MHPSS – that also affects the work of the Centre.

6. Psychological First Aid - PFA
The Red Cross has worked with PFA for more than 25 years and it’s an activity that is very much in line with our humanitarian principle.
Would like to generally strengthen our focus on PFA – as this is an area where many NS express a need – we see PFA as a set of generic skills and an approach that is in line with the principles of the Red Cross.
Need to package emergency PFA like Look, Listen, Link with e.g. support to people in crisis, people living with NCD’s and people with mental health problems. Like first aid we would take the approach that each and every household should be able to provide some kind of PFA and that it requires generic skills that all could learn and benefit from.
Priority to upgrade the PFA section of the CBHFA+ toolkit.
Develop a training set-up that can be offered.
Explore adaptation and packaging of existing PFA field guidelines to a RC/RC context.
