Calls for Action

Call for Resources on Psychosocial Support in EducationINEE

In reflections after the Nepal earthquake education response EducationCluster and INEE members identified the need to develop and makeaccessible a practical global tool that can be used to support psychosocialwellshybeing after emergencies

While many psychosocial support (PSS) resources exist we are hoping toadd some organization and relevance to them in the education context byclarifying what has been developed in which languages and by whichorganizations working in this area

As such we are currently mapping existing PSS resources for usein education settings and forchildren and youth with a focus on practicaltools (eg lesson plans) that can be used by teachers parents social workers and school principalsWe are also compiling PSS guidelines implementation tools and guidance and training materials

We are asking for submission of relevant resources to aid in this mapping process

Please submit all PSS resources in English Arabic French Spanish orPortuguese to careyutzineesiteorg by October 8 2015
