About this topic

In these Practitioner Guidance Papers we examine the responses of local CSOs when providing psychosocial support in emergency settings. 

In Bulgaria, For our Children’s Mission Ukraine programme is providing support to families fleeing war in Ukraine. This paper explores how the programme has developed as participants adapt to their new lives and family circumstances. 

In Chile, Paicabi established the Wara project in the immediate aftermath of the wildfires which swept the country in 2024. This paper documents how partnerships with other organisations can allow a speedy on the ground support to families who have experienced multiple losses. 

And in Rwanda UNM Uyisenga Ni Imanzi Nkwihoreze project provides tools for developing and repairing interpersonal and familial relationships as the country marked the 30th anniversary of the 1994 genocide.
