Protection Services. Psychological Treatment Trained psychologists offered group and individual counseling sessions in the welfare centers. Sessions followed a methodology based on therapeutic community mode/post disaster traumatic treatment to initiate psychosocial services with potentially at-risk or traumatized individuals. The methodology involved the formation of small, homogenous groups that initially discussed issues of stress (due to natural disasters, conflict and others). The field staff (social mobilisers) identified the vulnerable individuals for psychological treatment after that the psychologists treated them in the centers or visited their homes for treatment. At –risk individuals were identified and discreetly referred to clinical psychologists in Saidu Group of Hospitals in Swat who acted as case managers for those with psychological trauma due to the recent flooding and conflict. Clinical psychological services were available in all the centers and followed standard confidentially and clinical guidelines for case management. A screening system was developed where psychologists assessed the clients. Those who suffered from stress and minor trauma were provided with treatment locally. This included counseling and cognitive therapy and psychotherapeutic intervention. Clients with serious/major psychotic disorder were referred to the secondary & tertiary psychiatric services in Saidu Group of Hospitals and Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar. Consultancy advice to project team under this program was provided by senior professors of psychiatry, who not only monitored and guided the activities of psychologists but also randomly monitored the support and referral system and provided training periodically as part of continuous professional development of the field staff. These professors also worked as mentors to the psychologists. The professors provided professional and technical expertise and arranged indoor admissions to psychiatry department of teaching hospital at Peshawar. Workshop and trainings were also arranged to train individuals from affected families who were provided psychological education. The objective of this training was to teach patients on how to cope with trauma.
Protection Services. Referral Mechanism Clients visiting the welfare center for other than psychological treatment were referred to different service providers (NGOs/INGOs/BHUs/Government line departments & Hospitals). Referral officers/center in charge helped to strengthen inter-agency linkages and improve access to services by referring beneficiaries to another service provider. For example, affectees were referred to local health service providers for any health concerns. During the last 12th months(Nov 2009 – Nov 2010), MK referred 8288 clients to different NGOs/INGOs providing services such as food, shelter, water and sanitation, non-food items medical treatments etc these organizations include YRC, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Hospital, Save the Children, Handicap International, Merlin, Asia foundation, SRSP, IRC, WFP, Hayat Foundation etc. The referral officer/centre in charge assessed the needs of the visiting clients and then referred him/her to the relevant organizations. These referral officers established contacts with focal persons in other NGOs through one-to-one and cluster meetings. UNHCR Manual Appendix 6 Chapter 4 (June 2011) Page 8 of 15
Protection Services. Monitoring Small teams in each center undertook protection monitoring in the catchments area. They undertook focus group discussions in different locations on a weekly basis to monitor the general protection environment. They also undertook confidential incident reporting, consistent with UNHCR guidelines. Information gathered contained the information of location and date of incident, type of incident, number of persons affected, persons responsible, any further details, and action taken to address the incident, and contact information if follow –up was desired. Protection teams have been liaising with formal and informal protection actors several times per month, in order to follow –up on incidents where action has been requested by the team. They also exchanged information with these actors on trends and threads, and actors to resolve the same. Each center undertook mapping of service provision in the catchment area gather accurate information on services provided by NGOs/INGOs and government programs etc. Center coordinators provided advice on how to access assistance programs, and also facilitated EVIs to access services, including registration and humanitarian assistance programs.
