The AMORAY eLearning course provides content related to the mental health assessment of refugees and asylum seekers. It is mainly addressed (but not limited to) youth workers and combines manual, learning assessment tools and pedagogical approach (these last two can be downloaded as pdf at the end of each lecture). It is structured in 5 Modules, namely:
- General knowledge about assessment of mental health needs
- Mental health prevention
- Risk assessment
- Trauma
- Self-care
An Evaluation Questionnaire is also proposed for youth workers to be filled in before and after reading and implementing the theoretical and practical part of the eLearning course. You can dowload here the Evaluation Questionnaire.
Moreover, there is the possibility to obtain a YOUTH PASS certificate which recognises learning outcomes from youth work and solidarity activities. As a Europe-wide recognition instrument for non-formal learning in the youth field, Youthpass strengthens the social recognition of youth work. You can find more infromation here.
If you are interested to know how to obtain a YOUTH PASS certificate by implementig the AMORAY methodology, please contact us though the Contact form here.
