The ability of adults living in times of conflict and displacement to provide nurturing care for their children may be hampered by their own experiences of trauma, compounded by economic hardship and social isolation.
For these reasons, the sessions teach parenting skills like positive discipline, tips on how to provide emotional support to their children, and stress management so to maintain healthy environments at home.
Other parents help in community engagement on the importance of education.
They do home visits when some children miss school to raise awareness among parents.
