For Field testingThe interactive teaching skills taught during the ToTS training are the same as those used in the
mhGAP Training of Health-care Providers (ToHP) training manual. Thus, the ToTS participants
can learn and practise using these teaching techniques whilst familiarizing themselves with
the mhGAP ToHP training materials. Time has been built into the ToTS training to ensure that
participants receive and can integrate feedback from their peers and the master trainer as
they learn and develop their skills as trainers.

Singing to the Lions is a free training package (facilitator’s guide, supplement and video) by CRS, that is designed to help children and youth lessen the impact of violence and abuse in their lives. The main component is a three-day workshop where participants learn skills that can help them transform their lives and no longer feel dominated by fear. Although the workshop is aimed at young people and includes games, art and songs, it can also be used to help adults take action on aspects of their lives that cause fear and, in so doing, become better parents and caregivers.

Based on WHO South-East Asia Regional Strategy on Autism Spectrum Disorder
The collaborative framework for implementation of the “WHO South-East Asia Regional Strategy on Autism Spectrum Disorders” articulates to Member States: the nature of autism spectrum disorder and the issues faced by PwASD and their caregivers; the foundation on which the Regional Strategy and the collaborative framework is based; desired outcomes against each objective of the ASD Regional Strategy; recommended actions to fulfill each objective; requisite parameters that should govern the recommended actions; and suggested guidelines for monitoring, evaluating and reporting a Member State’s progress towards fulfilling the objectives. It encourages Member States to share best practices and information for promoting cooperation and partnerships for development of effective and sustainable programmes.

In 2016, UNICEF hosted The Adolescent Brain: A second window of opportunity, a symposium that brought together experts in adolescent neuroscience to discuss this emerging science and how we can apply it to support all adolescents – but especially those already facing risks to their well-being, including poverty, deprivation, conflict and crisis. The articles in this compendium elaborate on some of the ideas shared at the symposium. Together, they provide a broad view of the dynamic interactions among physical, sexual and brain development that take place during adolescence. They highlight some of the risks to optimal development – including toxic stress, which can interfere with the formation of brain connections, and other vulnerabilities unique to the onset of puberty and independence. They also point to the opportunities for developing interventions that can build on earlier investments in child development – consolidating gains and even offsetting the effects of deficits and traumas experienced earlier in childhood.

Conflict and Health 2013, 7:23 (1 November 2013)
Mental health problems, particularly anxiety and mood disorders, are prevalent in the setting of humanitarian emergencies, both natural and man-made disasters. Evidence regarding best strategies for therapeutic interventions is sparse. Medecins Sans Frontieres has been providing mental health services during emergencies for over two decades, and here the authors compare data from four programs. They conclude that mental health is an essential part of a health care response to humanitarian emergencies. In a variety of settings, they show the positive results of brief interventions

Modellprojekt von Ärzte ohne Grenzen zusammen mit dem Krankenhaus St. Josef in Schweinfurt.
Der vorliegende überarbeitete Leitfaden ist stark praxisorientiert und soll als ‚open source‘ zur Nachahmung anregen. Beschrieben werden
die Schritte der Entwicklung unseres Modellprojektes ‘Niederschwellige psychosoziale Hilfen für Geflüchtete’ in Deutschland
von der Idee bis hin zur praktischen Umsetzung. Er ist als Erfahrungsbericht zu verstehen, die Arbeitsweise von ärzte ohne
grenzen aus den Projektländern auf den deutschen Kontext zu übertragen. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Beschreibung
der Ausbildung und der Arbeitsweise der Psychosozialen Peer-BeraterInnen. Sie stellen das Kernstück unseres Ansatzes im
Bereich der niederschwelligen psychosozialen Versorgung dar.
