ABSTRACT
This research study sought to assess the effectiveness of psychosocial support interventions in addressing the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children in Domboramwari, Epworth. This research study employed descriptive research methodology. The study population consisted of 20 participants, including key informants from Shanduko Yeupenyu Child Care organization. Data was collected using key informant interviews, structured interviews, and a focus group discussion. The findings of the study revealed that children face significant challenges due to the loss of parental care and exposure to adverse circumstances, making psychosocial support programs crucial for their emotional, social, and psychological well-being. The findings suggest that psychosocial support programs in Epworth have shown promising results. These programs provide tailored interventions in a nurturing environment, addressing the specific needs of orphaned and vulnerable children. The involvement of trained professionals, such as psychologists and social workers, has been crucial in designing and implementing these interventions. The recommendations of the study include strengthening and expanding the psychosocial support programs, enhancing capacity building for professionals, fostering community engagement, and advocating for policy changes to improve the quality of psychosocial programs in Epworth. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of these programs, analyze cost effectiveness, consider cultural factors, assess parental and caregiver involvement, and evaluate the potential of technology-based interventions.
