A team of 40 healthcare workers have undergone specialized training to enhance mental health and psychological support for child survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Nakuru County.
Speaking during the training, the County SGBV Coordinator, Jessicah Mung'ao said that this initiative aligns with Governor Susan Kihika's commitment to strengthening child protection and mental health services, ensuring survivors receive compassionate, survivor-centered care. "We are equipping healthcare workers with trauma-sensitive approaches and self-care strategies, as part of reinforcing the County's stand against SGBV and ensuring a safe, supportive, and just environment for all children," said Mung'ao.
This will ensure that besides survivors receiving justice, they will also receive medical care that includes crucial mental health care.
This will go a long way in strengthening their recovery and coping mechanism.
