As part of the project “Comprehensive Initiative for Safe Water, Environmental Health, Mental Health, and Psychosocial Well-being of Syrian Refugees in Iraq,” Save the Children, in cooperation with the Public Aid Organization (PAO) as the implementing partner, conducted a specialized training on “Safe Families.” The training is considered one of the project’s key activities, aimed at enhancing child protection and supporting family stability within Syrian refugee camps.
The training was held from 15–18 June 2026 in Erbil, with the participation of project staff, and aimed to strengthen their technical and practical capacities in implementing child protection activities and promoting safe and supportive family environments.
The sessions focused on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills required to apply the Safe Families methodology, contributing to improved mental health and psychosocial well-being for children and their families, while supporting humanitarian response efforts in the Kawergosk and Darashakran Syrian refugee camps in Erbil.
This activity forms part of the joint efforts to build the capacities of field staff and enhance the quality of services provided to refugee children and families, ensuring a safer and more stable environment for the most vulnerable groups
