Local adults’ perceptions of adverse experiences and psychosocial consequences among refugee children in Sudan and South Sudan
Training non-specialists in teaching recovery techniques (TRT) to help traumatised children in humanitarian settings
The analysis showed three main themes/ challenges: (1) Who can conduct the TRT intervention? (2) What form and content should the training take? (3) How can the intervention be used in a responsible way to follow the 'do no harm' principle? We discuss the implications of the findings for trainings in scalable interventions and further research
