The World Health Organization (WHO) has provided a free guide in the form of a storybook and a complete manual.
To make it easier and more enjoyable to use, We’ve presented this guide as 7 engaging video storytelling sessions, keeping the original content intact
Our goal is to help both professional and non-professional workers who support adolescents deliver this material more effectively—and enjoyably—in every learning session.
For those who want to dive deeper, all the original materials are included for further study.

Who is this story video for?
This story video is for helpers, trainers, supervisors and organizations implementing EASE.
When we refer to “you” in the manual, we are addressing helpers.
It is aimed at
- Mental health professionals who have not previously been trained in the strategies described in EASE;
- People without professional training in mental health care (ranging from people with a degree in psychology, but without formal training and supervision in psychological interventions, to community workers and other non-specialist helpers); and
- Trainers and supervisors of helpers who will offer EASE.
Who is EASE for?
- EASE is for adolescents aged approximately 10–15 years old who are affected by adversity.
- It has been designed to help adolescents cope with internalizing problems (such as feelings of intense sadness, anxiety or stress, etc.).
- It is for adolescents whose emotional distress could be at a level that is interfering with their functioning.
- EASE is also for the caregivers of these adolescents. In EASE, caregivers are given skills to support their child.
EASE is not suitable for:
- Adolescents who are at imminent risk of self-harm or suicide;
- Adolescents who display behaviours that would disrupt the group (e.g. adolescents with violent or aggressive behaviours, or who are not able to follow instructions); and
- Adolescents with severe impairments related to mental, neurological or substance use disorders (e.g. adolescents with psychosis, severe intellectual disability, alcohol or drug use dependence).
