Fourth Training of Trainers Programme

The fourth successful training of trainers programme was held in Beruwela, Sri Lanka from 16th to 26th July 2007. Thirteen participants completed the programme from the following countries: India, Indonesia, Maldives, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and USA.

The unique feature of the training of trainers programme is the follow-up programme; which is a central part of our commitment to improving access of people affected by mental illness to appropriate support and services and we look forward to continuing it with the commitment of the group of participants.

Some of the comments offered by the participants on the overall evaluation of the programme:

“Overall I can say that it is good because like most trainings you just don’t train us and leave us. You do the follow ups. That’s the best part!”

“For someone who is from a total different background I have acquired quite an amount of knowledge and interacting with people with different cultures and background brought in more knowledge”

BasicNeeds will conduct its fifth Training of Trainers programme from 15th to 25th November 2007 in Indonesia.
