In all crisis settings – the pandemic, war, or climate change, communities of faith are often the first responders, providing psychosocial first aid and support to families and children. In response to these crises, Oxford University and many other partners developed evidence-based parenting tips that key off the evidence used for the ‘Parenting for Lifelong Health’ programs above.

The World Health Organization (WHO), in partnership with other agencies, identified the seven most effective evidence-based strategies to reduce violence against children in a technical package called INSPIRE. This handbook is designed to help leaders select and implement effective INSPIRE strategies within their own communities/nations.

Understanding God’s Heart for Children offers the opportunity for learning through reflection on experience and exploration of scripture, enabling Christians to hear and understand God’s desire and purpose for children. This resource is a facilitator’s guide for implementing a 7-week group study.
