Trainers and supervisors for our Netherlands Programmes

• ReachNow:A simple tool that gives staff at reception centres practical guidance to detect children who may need psychological help and to encourage caregivers to seek help. The tool is specifically developed for people without a professional mental health background who are in daily contact with children and their parents or caregivers. Training in ReachNow is often combined with a workshop on child safeguarding at the reception centre. 
• EASE (Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions): Developed in collaboration with WHO, EASE is a focused psychosocial intervention for adolescents (10–15 years) who have experienced armed conflict, displacement or other forms of adversity. The programme helps reduce stress and improves the wellbeing of young people with mild mental health problems. 
• BeThere: A group intervention for parents and caregivers of children exposed to armed conflict, displacement and other forms of adversity. The programme helps parents and caregivers reduce their own stress and find more support in one another, so they feel better and have more energy to be the parents they want to be. The intervention focuses on increasing knowledge and skills around stress, self-care and parenting.
