ats and the consequent risk of post-traumatic stress disorder among their staff or volunteers. In publishing this guide we aim to fill this gap, enabling smaller organisations and grassroots groups to set up a team to respond to the digital safety needs of the people they work and fight with. It can be read by techies who want to organise and join forces to help their movement, but also by managers and organisers, who can follow the steps outlined in the initial chapters to start planning the creation of a digital security help desk for civil society and then look for people with a technical background to staff their help desk during the implementation phase."

case management is defined as case management that caseworkers provide over the phone to existing clients (or, in some cases when resources, safety and referral processes allow, new clients through direct referrals). It may be accessed through appointments agreed upon by the survivor and caseworker or through survivor-initiated calls when the caseworker is available (i.e., not open to the general public, or operating all hours). This resource also provides recommendations for scaling up hotlines as a strategy for meeting urgent support and referral needs of survivors and those at risk." (Page 4)

ation/Quarantäne kommen dabei neue und ungewohnte Stressoren hinzu, die auf Nähe-Distanz-Regulierung sowie Intimität einen großen Einfluss haben. Hier besteht eine doppelte Herausforderung, nämlich zum einen den eigenen Alltag jenseits früherer Routinen zu meistern, weil auch Beratende regelmäßig ähnlich verunsichernde Situationen erleben. Zum anderen versuchen sie zeitgleich in einer auch beruflich neuen Situation den Fragen und Problemen oft sehr verunsicherter Klient*innen gerecht zu werden. Da Beratung in der Pandemie immer häufiger mittels Telefon oder per Video geschieht, werden hier die wichtigsten Aspekte zu diesen Kommunikationsformen in den Blick gebracht und weiterführende Internetressourcen zur Thematik erschlossen. Auch wenn suizidale Krisen in der Beratungskommunikation eher die Ausnahme sind, wird das Thema hier ausführlich behandelt. Schließlich sind solche existenziellen Krisen in der telefon- oder videobasierten Krisenintervention besonders herausfordernd und können in Krisenzeiten vermehrt vorkommen." (Seite 1)

d to scale such interventions beyond the pilot stage. In contrast, voice-based entertainment services accessible over simple phones, designed for similarly low-income, low-literate populations manage to scale ‘virally’ to tens of thousands of users with little to no advertising cost. Our study compares the outcomes of using voice-based entertainment to spread a maternal-health hotline against conventional advertisement channels including paper flyers, posters, radio, TV, social media and robocalls. Through an 11-week deployment in Pakistan where the hotline reached 21,770 users over 32,625 calls, we find that the entertainment service outperformed other channels on all popular user acquisition metrics, with the exception of robocalls, which lead in terms of spread."

The document also contains examples of good international and regional practices on the functioning of similar centres (Safer Internet Centres). The purpose of the Operational Handbook is to analyse the work of the Safer Internet Centres and offer guidance to the National Contact Centre for online safety of children in the Republic of Serbia on how to improve its efficiency and enhance its impact. This analysis also included a wider context in which the children helplines and reporting lines function, mapped out some of the new risks that children and young people might encounter in the digital environment, as well as the necessary support and resources needed for effective response and implications for the operational efficiency."

lth Services Authority (CalMHSA), we found many resources that discussed general approaches to evaluating mental health programs and policies but few that discussed how to tailor an evaluation approach to mental health PEI activities in particular. PEI activities may require different evaluation strategies than treatment interventions do. First, the activities being administered are different in that they are not clinical interventions. Indeed, PEI activities are highly diverse and provided in many different types of nonclinical settings. Thus, the process outcomes that are used as indicators of successful implementation tend to look different for PEI interventions." (Introduction)

s of the kind in South-East Europe. During the fi rst eight years of work a methodology has been developed, results achieved, some of the dilemmas have not yet been solved and the new ones have appeared. We would like to share our experiences with the expert public. We also nourish hope that our long-term experience in this fi eld, although we are pretty much self-taught, will be useful for those who are planning to establish a similar hotline. We believe that this Manual will also help the ones who have organized other types of SOS telephones (for fighting family violence, violence against children, etc.), because traffi cking in human beings may be a consequence of some other form of violence or may be hidden behind it. Although the Manual is intended for individuals who already have some experience in the anti-traffi cking fi eld, we nevertheless start with a brief defi nition and description of the problem for the sake of those who might be faced with this form of severe human rights violation for the first time. At the very start, principles and methodology of work that had been developed for ten preceding years in the Belgrade women’s NGOs that were engaged in anti-violence activities, particularly the SOS Hotline and Centre for Girls and the Autonomous Women’s Centre were the basis for our work, and we would like to avail ourselves of this opportunity to thank them. ASTRA SOS Hotline has been developing its activities by directly following fi eld actions and trends related to traffi cking of human beings; we have adapted the accepted principles and work methods according to circumstances in this new and totally diff erent scope. Of utmost importance are our contacts with partner organizations in the region and beyond, i.e. meetings where we have exchanged our experiences. Unfortunately, conferences on the SOS hotlines are very rare. This is the reason why we would like to present in this Manual experiences of other SOS telephones, both in Serbia and in South-Eastern Europe, as well as certain tendencies in the member states of the European Union."
