Self-Help Plus (SH+) and cash transfer
"SH+: Self-Help Plus (SH+) is a five-session stress management program developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for groups of up to 30 participants. It is facilitated by non-specialists who undergo brief training and use pre-recorded audio along with an illustrated guide, Doing What Matters in Times of Stress, to teach stress management techniques. Designed for adults experiencing stress, SH+ is adaptable to diverse living situations and circumstances. Research has demonstrated its effectiveness in alleviating psychological distress and preventing the onset of mental health disorders. Its flexible format makes it an excellent complement to other mental health interventions, whether as an initial step in a stepped care approach or as a community-based program integrated with broader community initiatives.~Cash Assistance: A cash transfer of $300 or equal amount in Turkish Lira per participant ($60 or equal amount in Turkish Lira after each session)"
