Project Summary

This training proposal contributes to the evidence base for the global provision of digital psychological therapies for forcibly displaced populations in low resource settings, and will provide the knowledge and skills to run an adaptive platform trial of EMDR compared to Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET). NET is a cost-effective evidence-based mental health intervention that has shown to be very promising in working with forcibly displaced populations.
