PESHAWAR, July 4: Training of 27 Lady Health Workers (LHW) was conducted at the In-service Training School Ghari Dupatta by the World Health Organisation (WHO) with the collaboration of the Ministry of Health, says a WHO release here on Tuesday.

The Church World Service trained 12 teachers in two schools of Billiani and Mangali to identify students with mental problems while community training is in progress for volunteers who will provide psychological awareness in their own community, it added.

The IMC has initiated training on Mental Health and Psychological support every Wednesday at the WHO sub-office in Mansehra.

Terre des Homes is maintaining its child-friendly centres in earthquake-affected villages to focus on child protection and help children with trauma through social workers and psychologists.—APP
