The training proposal is characterized by its multidisciplinary and international approach. Trainers, whether academics or field workers, all have proven expertise and many of them come from highly sensitive regions of the world such as Niger, Rwanda, Palestine.
The training provided in French takes place at a distance and is based primarily on the analysis of specific cases and situations in order to facilitate the translation of theoretical principles into effective intervention strategies.
These interventions must be conducted in accordance with humanitarian guidelines. They must be based on participatory principles, implemented together with communities, starting from the assessment of skills and needs. Effective action is based on and reinforces existing resources and practices.
In particular, mental health and psychosocial support professionals must be able to ensure that interventions do not harm people or communities. The unintended consequences of the programmes include cultural, economic, political, psychological, security and social aspects. The training strengthens the skills of operators in assessing, from the planning of interventions, the risk of possible unintended negative consequences through the implementation of systematic monitoring and evaluation actions.
