War Child Care System

The Care System is made up of a set of ‘Core Interventions’ that address the various needs of conflict-affected children and communities. These interventions are supplemented with a number of initiatives to promote access to care and reduce stigmatization.

This model allows for an integrated approach that ensures the various interventions are interconnected and mutually reinforce one another - for maximum impact. The suite of interventions also vary in intensity according to the needs of children and their communities - to ensure all mental healthcare needs are met. The interventions that make up this system are outlined below:
