These Terms of Reference relate to the training of trainers (ToT) for Interpersonal Psychotherapy for groups.

Main Goal

The primary goal of IPT-G ToT is to equip the MHPSS counsellors who were previously trained on IPT to train others as well as better implement group interventions for Depression.

With an additional number of IPT trainers available, the IRC will be in a better position to cascade the training to other MHPSS actors from different organisations in the camp thus reaching out to a bigger number of clients suffering from depression which is the leading mental health disorder across the camps.

Scope of work

The IPT-G ToT training will be provided by an experienced and certified IPT-G Trainer. The candidate should have a concrete background and experience in conducting such training.

The consultant will be responsible for assessing the capacity and the quality of the IPT trainees, develop a supervision and follow up plan for the team and prepare a final report on the IPT training as well as what needs to be improved for the current implementation of IPT-G.
