Counseling Cards
The RCEL Addendum Counseling Cards are the primary tool from this package that counselors use in their daily work. The cards consist of illustrations representing a Latin American and Caribbean context. They are provided in several formats so they can be easily adapted to different contexts, which is explained in detail in the Planning, Adaptation, and Implementation Guide. Programs that choose to not make any adaptations may wish to use the PDF version of the cards. Programs that are adapting the cards to a different context can use either the Word version of the cards or the InDesign package to do this. To adapt the illustrations, download them in TIFF format from the IYCF Image Bank and use Photoshop to make required adaptations. Adaptations should be completed with adequate support from someone knowledgeable in Photoshop, Word, and/or InDesign.

The videos model responsive care behaviors as they unfold in everyday settings with a variety of caregivers. There are two sessions in the RCEL Addendum training that include the option to utilize videos as part of that session. To show the videos, facilitators should have access to a laptop with audio and a projector. See the RCEL Addendum Facilitator's Guide for more information about using the videos during the training.
