Psycho-Social Support Group (PSSG)

PSSG intervention is a response to growing recognition of the need to promote psychosocial wellbeing for refugees during their forced flight. The manualized PSSG intervention aims to mitigate psychosocial effects of persecution and forced displacement, and its session topics are informed by common needs and experiences of acutely displaced refugees as well as factors that promote long-term recovery from crisis.

The group intervention objectives include:

  • enhancing refugee’s awareness of psychosocial well-being

  • strengthening current individual and community resilience by expanding distress management skills

  • promoting community-building in order to reduce isolation and re- build support systems.

PSSG was developed for implementation in a refugee transit camp. However, the intervention may be adapted to other displacement settings, when there is some degree of safety for the individuals; this includes internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, resettlement camps, or urban or community refugee settings.

To learn more about the PSSG intervention, please check out the PSSG for Refugee Transit Camps Manual or contact us to book a training.
