“Trauma therapy in conflict and post-conflict regions: Strengthening the post-war specialists through experience exchange, mediation and supervision”’

Psychologists, trauma therapists, social workers and volunteers working with the population affected by the Artsakh military conflict, are invited to apply to the project.

About the project:

The lasting military conflict in Artsakh remains a serious trial for the Armenian society. Most of the Armenian population directly or indirectly deals with the military actions and its trauma; therefore, it’s necessary to find out the most effective psychotherapeutic and psycho-corrective approaches, which can become the base of rehabilitation project for supporting the trauma survivors through practical psychological support.

In parallel with the escalation, the information about the deceased and wounded, the POWs and tortured, the refugees and displaced makes the long lasting after-war effects more and more vivid and for these effects the cavil society must survive and deal with.

The study project consists of 6 online trainings lasting 1 or 2 days, as well as 1 offline training lasting for 7 days in Armenia.

All the selected participants must participate in all online and offline activities of the project.
