TPO Cambodia

Transcultural Psychosocial Organisation (TPO) - the Community Mental Health Programme was established in Cambodia in February 1995 as a branch of the Netherlands based TPO International. The Programme was developed in response to the need to heal the psychological wounds of the Cambodian people caused by the civil war and the genocidal regime between 1975 -1979, and care for those who suffer from psychosocial and mental health problems. These include stress related mental disorder, anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Since 2000, TPO Cambodia has been registered as a Local Non Government Organisation (NGO). The organisation consists of a multi-disciplinary team, including Psychiatrists, Clinical Psychologists, Psychologists, Psychiatric Nurse, Medical Doctor, Medical Assistants, Nurses and Midwife, Social workers and Experienced Community Workers.

To accomplish its mission, TPO Cambodia has been working in collaboration with a number of Government Ministries especially the National Program for Mental Health (NPMH) of the Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Women Affairs, Ministry of Social Affairs and with International and Local NGOs such as Handicap International (HI), UNICEF, Licadho, Adhoc and several other NGOs.
