This handbook is the product of an extensive review of psychosocial interventions that has focused especially on the lessons learned from the psychosocial response to the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004. The first section of the handbook introduces psychosocial support in the context of the work of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement, and explains that the experience of psychosocial well-being is contextually and culturally bound. The handbook consists of considerations and recommendations for psychosocial practitioners who are going to set up a psychosocial intervention for the first time, paying attention to assessing needs and resources; planning and implementation; training; and monitoring and evaluation. The hardcopy of the handbook is accompanied by a CD filled with relevant documents and tools, all of which are also available on our resource database.

Preliminary results of a study conducted in partnership between REPSSI, the Swiss Academy for Development (SAD) and ChildFund Zambia are now available.
Since 2008, 960 children aged between 10 and 18, in a rural area of Kafue, Zambia, participated in five rounds of a very comprehensive survey. The survey was designed to asses the effects of a programme to provide both livelihood support to poor households and psychosocial support to children.
These briefs provide information around the challenges facing young people living in communities ravaged by HIV, AIDS, and poverty. In particular they highlight the challenges faced by young people living with chronically ill caregivers – a group that can be sometimes ignored as we focus on those who are orphaned.
This research brief focusses on the risks associated with being vulnerable: defined here as being orphaned, living with an elderly or chronically ill caregiver. - Zambia Rsch: How complicated grief affects Zambian orphans (105.7Kb)
