Course Overview
Psychosocial work is an element of child protection and overlaps with the term “social work”. It explains crosscutting activities which prevent and reduce negative impacts on wellbeing, such as advocating for improved access to necessary services and security, and also community-based activities which promote the capability of families and communities to help and support each other, resume everyday activities, and heal e.g., via parenting groups, children’s recreational and educational activities.
What is emergency child protection? Exposure to the disruption, loss, and violence associated with emergencies, places substantial psychological and social strain on children, adolescents, their families and communities. The means in which children and families experience and respond to conflicts and disasters varies greatly, yet with the right support the majority will be able to overcome these difficult experiences.
It is vital that social and psychological issues are not disregarded while homes are rebuilt, social services re-established, and livelihoods recommenced. It is now widely acknowledged that early psychosocial interventions must be an integral part of humanitarian assistance.
This Zoe training course will empower you with the skills to proactively prepare your employees in child protection emergencies. It will provide them with the mental acumen and skills repository to decisively act in emergencies involving children while simultaneously retaining the capacity to empower others to prepare appropriately as well.
