Faith-Sensitive Mental Health and Psychosocial Support to Foster Resilience in Children on the Move
2021
This booklet raises awareness and provide recommendations about the need to include faith-sensitive approaches to support the psychosocial well-being of children on the move. It is both a compilation and an expansion of the contributions and recommendations made during a three-part online series, “Fostering Resilience in Children on the Move.”
It is intended to present emerging practices from local faith actors and young people that have proved effective to support the mental and emotional well-being of children on the move and present concrete recommendations to raise awareness among governments in host countries and donor governments, as well as humanitarian actors, to include faith-sensitive approaches on psychosocial, mental health, and resilience programs to support children on the move.
The three-part virtual series was a collaboration developed by Arigatou International, the KAICIID International Dialogue Centre, and World Vision International (WVI) as a
collaboration of the International Partnership on Religion and Sustainable Development (PaRD) Sustaining Peace and Health workstreams.
