Judith Lynam – RICHER Model of Social Pediatrics

Community Training
The Community Social Pediatrics Institute also offers community-based training through its CLAN (Children Linked to Adults & Networks) series of training modules designed by Hélène (Sioui) Trudel, and developed by Laetitia Angba and Caroline Chaumont with the assistance of numerous partners.
These training and support modules will enable you to effectively implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child, develop a common language, and contribute to building a more just and equitable society.
Objectives
- Empower and equip children and teens living in difficult conditions through knowledge on human rights, peaceful communication and social entrepreneurship. Participants come to assume their rights and responsibilities through word and action, learning to reflect, express themselves and make themselves heard with the goal of transforming problems into solutions. In short, they learn to be responsible citizens.
- Build a protective circle around the child who does not have one by activating the special strengths of their family and community, in particular by equipping significant adults in the child’s life. This is achieved through knowledge of human rights, social action and the support of mentor families.
Other CLAN training opportunities
- An awareness workshop to mobilize your workplace or partners around the importance of respecting all rights set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and promoting the healthy development and resilience of children.
- A leader training workshop that prepares you to give CHILDREN and FAMILY training modules in your community or CSPC.
- Tools and ongoing support from our community training team to help you succeed in your training initiatives.
