Antares Foundation-Jordan
1. (U) On December 14, Antares Foundation-Jordan held the
first of a series of workshops in Amman for NGO staff
working in psychosocial/mental health programming.
RefCoord attended the opening session of the PRM-funded
workshop. Attendance exceeded AntaresQ expectations with
26 participants attending the opening day. PRM partners
JRC, CARE, and IMC participated in the workshops along with
five other organizations.
2. (U) The one-week workshop was presented by Megan King,
Head of Relief and Development for the Czech organization
People in Need. War Trauma Foundation, acting in
conjunction with Antares, supplied trainers and training
material for participants, who included Iraqis and
Jordanians. Antares Foundation Regional Director Leslie
Snider attended the workshops to evaluate the efficacy of
the training.
3. (U) Workshop trainers presented information in English,
and a non-professional translator translated the
proceedings into Arabic. Course materials were supplied in
Arabic to all participants. The course work was designed
to provoke discussion between psychosocial workers while
presenting new techniques to assist beneficiaries and to
deal with the effects of exposure to war trauma suffered by
assistance workers and staff.
4. (U) The workshop addressed both objectives of the
cooperative agreement requiring the survey and training of
at least 20 social workers from a minimum of five
organizations. Antares will present another four workshops
for social workers during the course of the cooperative
agreement.
