NEW! EASE guide has been released
3 January 2024We are happy to share with you the WHO-UNICEF Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions (EASE) guide that has been developed with the leadership of the WHO Mental Health Unit and was published today: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240082755
EASE is a group psychological intervention for 10-15 year olds who are affected by adversity and living with symptoms of depression, anxiety or distress. EASE includes seven group sessions for adolescents focused on building skills to cope with distress and three group sessions for their caregivers to promote supportive parenting and assist their children in practicing the EASE skills.
The above link provides access to the intervention manual, and associated materials to support its delivery. A training manual for EASE is available on request from VAN OMMEREN, Mark Humphrey vanommerenm@who.int and MALIK, Aiysha malika@who.int.
