Enhancing Livelihood Opportunities for Former Child Soldiers in Sri Lanka
In partnership with the Professional Psychological Counseling Centre (PPCC) of Batticaloa, in eastern Sri Lanka, Heartland Alliance is implementing a 3-year vocational training program for former child soldiers. The program offers four vocational training courses, as well as courses in literacy and language, to residents of the Cuckoo's Nest, a residential rehabilitation program for both male and female former child soldiers. The program also provides trauma-informed psychological and psychosocial counseling specific to the needs of former child soldiers, and is working to develop a network of mentors made up of adult former child soldiers to provide guidance and support. Offering a comprehensive array of services addressing the specific vocational, social and mental health needs of the former child soldiers is designed to ensure success in their transition back into civilian life.
