Increasing Effectiveness of Training for Vulnerable Children in Home for Girls: A Preparation Stage Nexus

Abstract

Trainers and educators often encounter challenges when working with vulnerable clients, particularly young girls who have endured traumatic experiences and are grappling with mental health issues. These children require a specialized intervention process before they can embark on their core course training. Failure to facilitate the necessary cognitive preparation during the initial stages of training could significantly compromise the quality of education provided to them. This research utilized thematic analysis to uncover three pivotal challenges associated with organizing training programs for children residing in a shelter for vulnerable girls in Thailand. The preparatory process, specifically focusing on positive reinforcement, addressing self-esteem issues, and promoting identity development, emerged as crucial factors that enhance the effectiveness of training for these children. Trainers must remain conscious of the implications of these factors while delivering instructions to ensure the successful delivery of core contents.
