  ABSTRACT: This case study explores the strategy implemented by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America and the Caribbean. Focusing on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) interventions, the study examines how the IFRC adapted its approach to cater to the diverse populations in this region. The analysis highlights both the short-term and long-term impacts of these interventions and identifies key challenges and limitations in generalizing findings across different contexts. Recommendations for future research and policy development are also discussed.
