Funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Project Mental Health, this manual suggests approaches and techniques that address the psychological needs of gender-based violence (GBV) survivors, which practitioners can use when they aid and provide care to those who are exposed to GBV. It is meant as a supplement to the existing literature available on the topic.

The manual covers the basics, including background information, evaluation methods, and definitions. The second portion sketches out a three day training for practitioners on how to understand and provide care for different types of GBV trauma.
