Marking a historic milestone in Sri Lankaโs disaster preparedness and child protection framework, the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society (SLRCS) in partnership with Sri Lanka Foundation Institute (SLFI), successfully conducted a three-day residential Training of Trainers (ToT) Programme on Psychosocial Interventions for Child Survivors of Hurricanes, Landslides, and Floods.
This initiative launched a Training of Trainers Manual on Psychosocial Interventions for Child Survivors of Hurricanes, Landslides, and Floods, to standardise psychosocial support for child survivors of natural disasters in Sri Lanka. Designed as a structured guideline, it will be implemented as the policy framework for a nationally recognized intervention system.
The programme, brought together district-level workers and volunteers of SLRCS, school teachers, and SLPP members creating a strong nationwide network of trained personnel equipped to respond to childrenโs psychological needs during emergencies.
As a humanitarian organization serving vulnerable disaster-affected communities for 90 years, the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society considers this landmark initiative a significant step toward institutionalizing a nationally coordinated psychosocial intervention system to protect and promote the mental well-being of children affected by disasters in Sri Lanka.
