We have developed five manuals to help children cope with their reaction to war and disasters.

These are evidence based scalable psychological interventions designed to help children in resource poor settings following conflict and emergencies. CAW does not recommend that the interventions are used as stand-alone interventions, but that they are integrated into a co-ordinated response.  CAW recommends that the manuals are used in accordance with core principles of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) in emergencies: Human rights and equity, participation, do no harm and building on available resources. We strongly recommend that TRT is used according to the Inter Agency Standing Committee (IASC) guidelines MHPSS in emergencies (by clicking here,) and the MHPSS Minimum Service Package  (see Home - MHPSS MSP) e.g. that TRT is used in the context of a multi-sectoral response. Even in an emergency setting, humanitarian actors and communities should plan, establish and co-ordinate a set of minimum responses to protect and improve people’s rights and health. CAW develops and promotes a few evidence based interventions, but strongly recommends that other tools are also used (see Guidelines and tools for strengthening mental health and psychosocial support A5 eng_DIGI.pdf)
