Video Editor

Background

War Child (WCH) is an independent and impartial international non-governmental organization investing in a peaceful future for children and young people affected by armed conflict. WCH strives to empower children and young people, while enabling adults to bring about positive and lasting change in the lives of conflict-affected children and young people. 

The Research and Development department at WCH has developed a multi-year research agenda that combines work towards evidence-based, socio-ecological, integrated and multi-level care services with validated quality implementation standards. The research agenda therefore goes beyond simply demonstrating evidence for implemented interventions, but improving the understanding of how such interventions can be implemented with sufficient quality in real-world low-resource settings. 

In support of the quality of programs, WCH is involved in a platform called EQUIP to develop and test assessment tools to test the competences of practitioners working with children and their caregivers. WCH is intending to conduct testing of the tool with facilitators implementing a psychosocial intervention with children, using the Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions (EASE) methodology.

Purpose of the EQUIP Research Study

The research is part of the EQUIP (Ensuring Quality in Psychological Support), a platform of the World Health Organisation (WHO) for training and supervision of mental health and psychosocial support helpers.

The goal of the EQUIP study in Lebanon is to test three competency measurement tools (ENACT (working with adults), WeACT (working with children) and GroupACT (conducting group sessions)) and to investigate the difference in quality of care conducting intervention implementation after a Training as Usual (TaU) and a competency driven training and supervision (EQUIP-based). WCH will test the use of the competency assessment tools of the EQUIP platform with EASE Facilitators.
