  28. Annex 2What Other Actors Can Do - Action Sheets from IASC Guidelines for MHPSS in Emergency Settings

  29. WHAT PROTECTION ACTORS CAN DO MHPSS approaches may focus on: • Building the capacity of caregivers of children (including teachers) to better recognize and respond to protection needs • Developing functional referral networks between schools and social services • Identifying and referring children who have suffered serious protection risks or traumatic events for specialized care and support, as necessary, to help them recover • Identifying and addressing harmful behaviours • Preventing separation and prioritizing reunification with caregivers • Facilitating alternative care arrangements when necessary.

  30. WHAT HEALTH AND NUTRITION ACTORS CAN DO Health and nutrition actors can play an important role in recognizing and providing appropriate treatment and support to children and caregivers with MNS disorders or other specialized MHPSS needs. For example: • Primary care staff can provide care and treatment based upon the Mental Health GAP (mhGAP) in Humanitarian Settings standards. • Community health workers can receive training and supervision to appropriately identify, support and refer vulnerable children and families to clinical mental health care or social services. • Nutrition actors can help to identify, support and refer mothers with post-partum depression or infants and young children at risk due to protection concerns, poorgrowth or developmental disabilities.

  31. WHAT EDUCATION/ECD ACTORS CAN DO • Community dialogue and psycho-education, parent support and training to: • Provide infant and young child stimulation and facilitate active play • Facilitate basic nutrition and promote the continuation of breastfeeding • Promote bonding between infants and caregivers • Programmes to support the care of young children by their families and provide social support to caregivers.

  32. WHAT CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT ACTORS CAN DO • Assessment that ensures MHPSS needs and resources of children and families are adequately and appropriately assessed. • Ensure all humanitarian staff working in the camps are briefed in basic MHPSS knowledge and skills to support distressed children and families and provide necessary referrals. • CCCM actors may co-chair an MHPSS coordination group in the camp to help mainstream MHPSS activities across sectors, and engage the affected community in service planning and delivery. • CCCM actors can also help to assess and address MHPSS needs and resources in host communities, and to liaise with civil society and government representatives to complement the temporary services provided in the camp setting and strengthen the MHPSS care structures in the area.

  33. WHAT WASH ACTORS CAN DO Engage girls and women (in addition to boys and men) in assessing needs and priorities around WASH facilities is the first step to ensure safe, appropriate facilities. This includes, for example: • Separate and private bathing and latrine facilities for men and women, locks on latrine doors and well lighted latrine areas help to minimize protection risks. • Water access points should be nearby and easily accessible to women and families who use them frequently for activities of daily living. • Deciding together with women and child caregivers the best placement and design of water access points can help to promote areas where women can meet each other, have dialogue and form connections.
