Talent Pool : Instructional Designer Learning Trajectories Care System

War Child reaches many thousands of children and youth every year - yet there are 468 million children living with the effects of armed conflict. We will never reach them all by ourselves, which is why our strategic goal is to scale our impact by implementing evidence-based methodologies with partners. Together we can support the mental health and well-being of many more children affected by conflict.

At the heart of our scaling strategy is War Child’s Care System approach. The Care System includes a range of evidence-based methodologies designed to improve the mental health and well-being of children and their caregivers. These components can be selected based on partner needs, tailored for programme requirements and contextualized and integrated with existing services to build on local strengths.

To make the adaptive Care System accessible to many more children and communities, we aim to collaborate with key stakeholders to co-design simple and effective learning pathways and resources to support all steps in the implementation process.
