2016 LB043 Community Based Psychosocial Support in Syria

The project is supporting the continuation of War Child's ongoing emergency program in Syria, focusing on the psychosocial component and expanding its reach through community involvement . Aligned with IASC MHPSS Guidelines, the psychosocial intervention implemented by War Child's CBO partners will be scaled up to address both: 1) individual coping strategies and 2) community support mechanisms. The proposed project will complement the continuing program and partnership between War Child and local Syrian partners, and will focus on enhancing the "self care skills" of children, adolescents and their caregivers while strengthening community support services.
