Nahda Makers Conducts a Series of Trainings to Strengthen the Capacity of Education Personnel in Mental Health and Risk Reduction

As part of Displacement and Climate-induced Emergency Response in Yemen Project, funded by #ECW and implemented in partnership with #NRC, #Nahda_Makers (#NMO) conducted a series of specialized trainings for teachers and education personnel on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), School-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in the school environment in Al Hudaydah and Taiz governorates.

The trainings aimed to strengthen the capacity of education personnel to provide safe, protective, and supportive learning environments for children affected by crises.

The trainings brought together 187 participants, including 83 men and 104 women, comprising teachers, school administrators, social workers, and School Crisis Management Teams from the targeted schools.

The sessions focused on equipping participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to promote children's mental health and psychosocial well-being, strengthen emergency preparedness and response, reduce school disaster risks, and prevent and safely respond to gender-based violence in school settings. Participants also enhanced their understanding of appropriate referral pathways to ensure children receive the support and protection they need.

These trainings are part of ongoing efforts to empower education personnel to create safe, protective, inclusive, and supportive learning environments that promote the well-being of children affected by crises, ensure the continuity of education, and strengthen schools' resilience in the face of emergencies and future challenges.
