The aim of this module is to introduce learners to the most common psychosocial issues associated with asylum applicants in reception facilities, including key stressors.

This module focuses on developing skills to support basic psychosocial interventions in the context of reception and to identify good practices for applicants in the local context within the host community.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Identify a range of tools and techniques to recognise and reduce causes of social distress for asylum applicants in reception centres

2. Provide guidance for asylum applicants in the context of reception by addressing causes of social distress

This module is delivered through a blended learning methodology (online, face-to-face and independent learning). Online learning uses learning activities that assess progress toward the learning outcomes and face-to-face sessions focus on psychosocial needs related to support and guidance in reception that require discussions and work groups.

The assessment strategy is based on one assessment at the end of the module and is designed to assess the elements of the learning outcomes of the module. The assessment consists of a written or animated scenario with open-ended questions.
