Club Courage is an innovative, locally co-created, and straightforward peer-support approach that empowers midwives and nurses to openly discuss and collectively address stress, providing mutual support. Tested in Mali, the intervention centers around small group gatherings of 8-12 individuals in convenient locations, either at healthcare facilities or within the community, using a deck of cards to prompt discussions (refer to brief 1 of 2 for detailed information). The study explored the acceptability and perceived consequences of the CC intervention within six out of the eight district hospitals where CC sessions were actively ongoing in and around Bamako. 

This brief gives an overview of the study, it’s methodology, key findings, and recommendations.
