This program, which aims at raising the level of efficiency of workers in the field of refugee services to improve their abilities at providing psychosocial care for Syrian refugees, was carried out through cooperation between the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), and the School of Nursing and the Center of Consultation and Training at UJ.
The program is designed to qualify the workers in medical, psychological and social fields to provide psychosocial support for the refuges, noting that UJ is the first university in Jordan that carried out such a project.
