The Caring for the Caregiver (CFC) frontline worker training package is designed to support emotional wellbeing of caregivers/parents, with a focus on vulnerable caregivers, particularly adolescent mothers. CFC promotes emotional awareness, self-care, and self-efficacy, and encourages partner and family support, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills, particularly in contexts of high levels of adversity. 

This resource guides users with key messages which help advocate for emotional and practical support, and the use of coping strategies to deal with COVID-related caregiving stresses, responsibilities, fear, uncertainty, and isolation. It offers practical guidance and resources which encourage connection and communication to address isolation and disruption in daily routine.

The IASC Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for MHPSS Programmes was released for field test in 2017. In 2021, the Common Framework was updated to include qualitative and quantitative means of verification (MoV) for impact-level indicators in the framework. MHPSS.net developed the IASC MHPSS M&E Framework MoV toolkit to accompany the framework and serve as a resource to maintain and disseminate these tools in a single, easy to use format.
