Psychosocial care & protection of children in emergencies: A Field Guide
This Field Guide to Psychosocial Programs in Emergencies is an introduction to psychosocial care and protection and a valuable tool to field staff. It is one of a series compiled through its Children and War Capacity Building Initiative. Through this initiative, Save the Children has made a clear institutional commitment to providing quality programs that support children’s well-being in emergencies and crises, and to ensuring that SC staff have the knowledge and skills they need to continue this important work. Psychosocial care and support in emergencies is an integral component in the rehabilitation of communities and in restoring children’s normal and healthy development.
