We wanted to share what we found out worked best in trainings. We first thought: how can you transform the face-to-face into online, where you take the same elements that we usually work with in mental health and psychosocial support.
Ea Suzanne Akasha, technical advisor in the IFRC Reference Centre for Psychosocial Support, introduces the new guide On-line facilitation in MHPSS.
The newly published “On-line facilitation in Mental Health and Psychosocial Support” guide reflects and builds on experiences from the IFRC Reference Centre for Psychosocial Support with conducting its participatory on-line MHPSS trainings. The guide offers tools on how to transform participatory and scenario-based face-to-face trainings to a digitally inclusive experience. It is written to encourage the use of online trainings that enhances the learning outcomes for participants combining technical skills with social-emotional learning.
