The project will implement and evaluate a group-based psychosocial program for victimized mothers with children ages newborn to 5 in Colombia, a country devastated by violence. The program promotes healthy child-parent attachments as a pathway for proper development among children exposed to violence. By fostering mothers’ mental health and capacity to become a source of emotional protection, children can reach their full potential amid such traumatic circumstances. This will provide key lessons for the implementation of early childhood policies in Colombia and in other humanitarian contexts.
