Psychological First Aid & MHPSS Training

Project Overview

ICIN Nigeria participated in an intensive 3-day training workshop organized by the Child Protection Network (CPN), Plateau State Chapter, focusing on Psychological First Aid (PFA), Child Protection Case Management, and Mental Health Psychosocial Support (MHPSS).

As child protection remains at the core of ICIN's policy, our dedicated project team and case workers gained advanced technical skills in identifying emotional trauma, administering non-intrusive psychological first aid, and managing sensitive child abuse case files in emergency contexts.
