Support the Well-being of Caregivers, Teachers, and Child Protection Teams

Comprehensive support for those working most closely with children, adolescents, and youth is an essential part of any intervention and must be prioritized. This includes direct support as well as strengthening supportive systems that recognize the role and value of all caregivers. Parents and other caregivers are the first line of support during crises. Their health and well-being are essential in ensuring children, adolescents, and youth are appropriately cared for, protected, and learning opportunities supported. Child protection and education personnel (including teachers, other education personnel, child protection staff, and other SSW) working closely with children, adolescents, and youth, need access to and support from mental health and psychosocial support programs. Additionally, essential components of mental health include enabling work environments that enhance the voice, agency, and leadership of education and child protection personnel working most closely with children, youth, and their caregivers.
