Academy of Care

The Academy of Care evolved from the Program of Care (PoC), which began in 2022. Following World Mental Health Day, the Academy of Care is introduced as a capacity-building initiative designed to train individuals to facilitate mental health and psychosocial support programs. Through creative and dynamic teaching methods, the program aims to address mental health challenges, with a focus on trauma cases, over the next two years.
