The survey of more than 2,300 families across nine districts in Sri Lanka also found nearly three out of four households had to spend more time with their children to accommodate their emotional and mental health needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Soaring inflation, daily power cuts, and shortages of fuel, food and\u00a0medicines have stretched families beyond their ability to cope. The economic stress on families has triggered one in 10 children to experience changes in their appetite and show more signs of aggression.\u00a0Save the Children\u2019s survey also found that one in five children experienced changes in their sleep patterns, had difficulty regulating their emotions, showed violence towards others, or wet their beds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Lakmi*, is a 10 year old girl from Ratnapura, Sri Lanka. She can\u2019t go to school on days buses aren\u2019t available, and talks about witnessing long fuel queues in her town.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u201cThe situation in the country makes me very sad. I am afraid that we won\u2019t have a country at the end of all this. There are problems with fuel, and the prices of food have also increased,\u201d\u00a0said Lakmi. \u201cIf I had the chance to do something for my country, I would work for the betterment of the people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Thisal* is a 13 year old boy from Badulla and he shared: \u201cI don\u2019t have a way to continue my learning properly because schools are often closed. I am scared that if exams are held, I might get low marks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Nadeesha*, 37, a mother from Badulla, explained that the financial pressure this crisis is having on her as a parent is having an influence on her children\u2019s mental wellbeing:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u201cI have observed many big changes in my children\u2019s behaviour. They are sad about the situation, but they try not to show it. They tend to worry because I am unable to provide them with what they like, the way I used to do.\u00a0 They worry that their parents don\u2019t have a steady income to support the family.\u00a0 They are not happy like before.\u00a0 They don\u2019t go out much to play.\u00a0They are worried about what\u2019s going to happen tomorrow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0According to the UN\u2019s Sri Lanka Humanitarian Needs and Priorities Plan,\u00a0although Sri Lanka\u2019s economic crisis is leading to a significant rise in mental health issues, the country cannot provide adequate Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) for those who need it due to the lack of financial resources.\u00a0Without appropriate MHPSS, the mental health impact of the crisis on children can worsen, leading to poorer chances of long-term wellbeing and resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0<b>Save the Children\u2019s National Director in Sri Lanka, Julian Chellappah, said:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIn difficult and unsettling situations, children may externalise their feelings by showing signs of distress, with more crying and screaming among young children, more aggressive behaviour or violence, as well as difficulties in emotional regulation. Some will internalise their feelings, resulting in withdrawal. This is what we\u2019re seeing unfold in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cChildren often find it hard to make sense of crisis and often need support from family and friends to help them understand and cope with the resulting adversities. If children do not get the support they need, their symptoms can worsen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe constant worry over accessing food, clean water, medicines and even education is taking an immense toll on Sri Lankan children. We are calling on the government to find a sustainable economic solution to this crisis, to get families back on their feet and ensure children\u2019s long-term mental health needs are prioritised and adequately funded.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Save the Children in Sri Lanka is releasing its first Rapid Needs Assessment report, aimed to understand how communities are impacted by the ongoing crisis. The organization is responding to the needs of vulnerable families with plans to provide cash and livelihood support for nearly 1 million people.\u00a0Save the Children\u2019s humanitarian response strategy will also prioritize Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) by raising community awareness and empowering communities, both adults and children, to support each other\u2019s psychosocial wellbeing in these tremendously distressing times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The survey data was collected from May to June 2022 from a total of 2,309 households across nine districts in Sri Lanka. Every household had children. The minimum sample size of 245 households in each province provides a 90% confidence interval and a 5% margin of error for the target population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Aspects of mental health and psychosocial well-being in children and adults were measured through self-assessment and observational rating scales, covering a number of positive and negative feelings as well as changes in children\u2019s behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span
