In 2019, UNRWA will provide mental health and psychosocial support to vulnerable adults and children through its education and health programmes, with a focus on ensuring that all students have the essential skills to cope with the challenging environment that surrounds them. To this end, 274 school counsellors will be deployed to identify and support children who are experiencing psychosocial problems and protection threats through individual and targeted group interventions in schools, in line with the Agency?s inclusive education approach to the provision of psychosocial support. The Agency will organize structured parent and community education sessions to promote positive parenting and positive family lives to increase coping capacity and resilience of adults. Through its network of health centres, UNRWA will support the most vulnerable refugees, primarily women (90 per cent of cases) and women survivors of GBV (80 per cent of all cases). This support will include group counselling, structured psychoeducation sessions and the provision of legal advice aimed at promoting a holistic approach to child and family well-being.
