abstract="This paper describes lessons learned from a classroom based intervention, which was implemented in the post conflict area of Poso, Indonesia. These lessons are drawn from qualitative research and a randomised controlled trial in the area, as well as data from our own programme monitoring and evaluation. We describe these lessons learned from a socio-ecological perspective, making recommendations to strengthen the classroom based intervention's connection with critical mental health and psychosocial issues relevant at individual, family and wider community levels. Lessons learned include: the need for further adaptations to address local somatic expressions of psychological distress; consideration of changes at the cognitive level; a need for gender specific activities; engaging families in school based interventions; and addressing the damage to the wider social fabric, including at peer level. The engagement of trained paraprofessional health care is also discussed as an essential consideration.   © 2016 War Trauma Foundation, Diemen, The Netherlands<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
