Overview

As part of our efforts to support community stability and reintegration in Heet and Ramadi, the Al-Tadhamun Recovery Center is seeking a Senior MHPSS Consultant.

The objective of this consultancy is to bridge the gap between “Education” and “Mental Health” for returnees from Northeast Syria and host community children. The consultant will design a specialized methodology and train educational staff on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), empowering them to manage complex psychological challenges within the school environment.

  • Phase 2: Capacity Building (Training Delivery)
    • Facilitate an intensive 4-day training workshop in Sulaymaniyah (Jan 11–14, 2026) using active learning methodologies (role-playing, simulation).
  • Phase 3: Reporting & Advisory
    • Submit a final analytical report including data analysis of pre/post-tests and practical recommendations for each school based on observations.

Technical Syllabus Requirements

The manual and training must cover the following core pillars:

  • Trauma-Informed Care (TIC): The six principles of TIC in schools, understanding the “Traumatized Brain,” triggers, and reframing behavioral issues.
  • Well-being & Emotional Regulation: Tools for emotional expression (e.g., Emotion Wheel, Grounding Techniques) and building resilience.
  • MHPSS Interventions: Psychological First Aid (PFA) for children, social inclusion strategies to reduce stigma, and the Referral Pathway (identifying Red Flags).
  • Staff Self-Care: Strategies to prevent Vicarious Trauma, Compassion Fatigue, and Burnout among educators.
