This study is testing an online, peer-supervision programme for professionals working with displaced communities.
Abstract
Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) staff in humanitarian settings have limited access to clinical supervision and are at high risk of experiencing burnout. This study is testing an online, peer-supervision programme for MHPSS professionals working with displaced Rohingya (Bangladesh) and Syrian (Turkey and northwest Syria) communities.
The protocol paper describes the scope, objectives, and methodology of the project.
This research was supported by the Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) Programme.
