Care for Caregivers: A psychosocial support model for child and youth care workers serving orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa

This case study offers a detailed examination of the C4C model. Information gathering took place in March and April 2009 at NACCW headquarters and selected program sites in Eastern Cape and Kwa-Zulu Natal. Identified strengths of the C4C program include implementation by clinically skilled persons external to the community, attention to reducing the stigma of mental health issues and HIV and AIDS, and a focus on improving team dynamics.
