Youth Field Days : In August 2012, our Child & Adolescent Support Program hosted its first field days for young people from four of the 8 program sites in the Port-au-Prince metro area (Carrefour, Petite Place Cazeau, Lafferonnay and Balan). The days - one for children and one for adolescents - combined the programmatic thrusts of education, social and creative into one fun day and gave participants the chance to meet their peers from other locations.

Child & Adolescent Support Program : The child and adolescent support program aims to improve the emotional health of young people affected by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti by engaging them in learning, play and socialization. The program targets young people ages 7-16 who have experienced a loss in relation with the 2010 earthquake. Major Christine Volet and her team begin by meeting with the community to gauge interest and need for the program and meeting with the corps officers and youth committee members to gather support for the program. Children are then interviewed and the team meets with their parents or guardians to explain the program, their role in the process and the partnership between The Salvation Army and each of them over the course of the program. After parents or guardians have registered the children, trained field workers come in to conduct the program and help young people in these communities work through their trauma.
