Improved Child Protection and MHPSS service provision for families and children with and without disabilities affected by conflict-related violence in the Northern of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The project is designed to respond to the intersectional needs of the most vulnerable groups affected by occupation related violence in the North of the WB (Jenin and Nablus) including EJ. The project, therefore, entails a multi-sectorial approach that includes a set of integrated protection activities while mainstreaming access to appropriate, safe, and inclusive MHPSS services for children, and caregivers victims and/or at risk of violence, abuse. To support the strengthening protective environment of children, additional community-based protection activities will be implemented in 26 CBOs, allowing outreach to children and other vulnerable families who will be identified and referred to specialized services. A total of  2780 participants - 3261 participants with and without disability, including 1671 children (805 boys and 866 girls), 1590 caregivers (795 men and 795 women), and families in the face of chronic exposure to conflict-related violence from almost 23 communities  will be targeted under this project.

War Child Holland (WCH) together with The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA)  and Treatment and Rehabilitation Center for Victims of Torture (TRC) will strive to follow a family holistic approach that provides protection and MHPSS services to the whole family including the child and his/her caregivers by providing multilayered   MHPSS services and case management services to children and their caregivers in Nablus, Jenin and EJ that will enhance their well-being.
This comprehensive and holistic response aims at increasing access to MHPSS and protection services to children and families through two key specific objectives:
1) Improve resilience and well-being of children, caregivers, and teachers at risk, through providing access to relevant, appropriate, multi-layered MHPSS services.
2) Increase protection and safety of children and women at risk, through providing access to CP and case management, identification and referral to specialized services as needed in communities.

War Child will lead the consortium with YMCA and TRC, War Child will provide its technical expertise through working on individual child protection case management and training community volunteers and partners on child protection safe identification and referral and other topics including inclusion, PSEA, FCRM and Child safeguarding, while MHPSS services will be provided by the YMCA through provision of level 2 and 3 interventions, and TRC will provide level 4 services for children and caregivers in the targeted communities. 

The project is thus designed to address short and long term needs by addressing immediate urgent needs of the communities in relation to access to protection and MHPSS services. In addition, the project is aiming to focus on awareness, knowledge and capacity building that would last and help the communities to manage any future emergencies and crisis should they arise, prioritizing localized response through engaging local communities, CBOs, and youth groups. The project takes into account long-lasting presence of the consortium in Nablus, Jenin and EJ  and has been designed in consultation with Protection Cluster and in close coordination which will continue throughout the project implementation phase with actors present in the targeted communities to ensure complementarity and avoid any kind of duplication.
