About
The proposed project, builds on the previous work supported by UN Action. It aims to develop a manual grounded in evidence-based and safe approaches with the goal of providing specific guidance for paraprofessionals (ranging from high school graduates with 2 years of further education to bachelor-level psychologists) to address common mental health problems related to sexual violence in adults. Such manual is currently not available. The proposed manual will:
The development of the manual is thus based on the findings from the 2011 UN Action-funded technical meeting on mental health and psychosocial services for sexual violence survivors led by WHO in close collaboration with UNFPA and UNICEF. This meeting involved practitioners from the field and academic experts as well as other representatives of key UN agencies and INGOs working in the area of sexual violence.
Content of manual The selection of these techniques will be based on existing WHO guidelines on stress management and cognitive-behavioural interventions as well as subsequent literature review and expert consultation. These techniques are specific (and they surpass non-specific counselling in effectiveness) and are not intrusive in that they do not involve pressing the survivor to recount the details of the traumatic events (which is an intervention that is best implemented safely if people receive advanced training and goes beyond the low-intensity manual that we propose to prepare).
