About Organization
Transcultural Psychosocial Organization Nepal (TPO) Nepal is one of Nepal’s leading psychosocial organizations. It was established in 2005 to promote psychosocial well-being and mental health of people in conflict-affected and other vulnerable communities through the development of sustainable, culturally-appropriate, and community-based psychosocial support systems.

Project information:

ALIVE is a 5-year project aiming to develop, and test the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of intervention modules (economic/anti-poverty intervention modules and self-regulation intervention modules) for preventing common mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety among adolescents aged 10-19 years living in poverty affected urban settings such as squatter settlements in Nepal. The interventions will be developed in line with formative qualitative research and the effectiveness of the interventions would be assessed by using various self-report mental health tools and neuropsychological assessments. These tools and assessments would be developed/adapted and validated via a series of steps which includes translation, review, (Focus Group Discussion) FGD, back-translations, cognitive interviewing, pre-testing, validation against the diagnostic interview, evaluation of psychometric properties, and standardization.
