Session Overview: Psychosocial Programming

Psychosocial programming after the emergency phase: A look at emergency education programs in transition


Global Consultation 2009, Istanbul

Wednesday 1 April 11:00-12:45, Concurrent Learning Session Block 3

Abstract

Psychosocial support in its many manifestations has become a recognized and necessary component of emergency education programming. However, too often the value added by bringing a psychosocial support component into educational offerings in emergency contexts is lost as programs transition out of the relief phase. This session will consider ways in which emergency education programs can integrate well-being and socio-emotional learning into education (both formal and non-formal) in a sustainable way following an emergency.

Session Objectives

  • Objective 1: To present program models that represent good practice in education in emergencies.
  • Objective 2: To promote models of program transition that can be replicated.
  • Objective 3: To spur discussion about program sustainability and transition.

Expected Outcomes

  • Outcome 1: Capacity development of delegates around psychosocial programming in emergencies.
  • Outcome 2: Capacity development around issues of program transition and sustainability.
  • Outcome 3: Widened network of contacts and collaborators among delegates working on psychosocial issues.
