Trauma-sensitive support in areas affected by war and conflict
Trauma International offers training courses and projects on trauma-sensitive support, the use of art and music with traumatized people, and selfcare for mental health professionals. With a focus on war zones and (post-)conflict areas.
This is a practical guide to accompany the trauma-sensitive support training courses offered by Trauma International. In those courses, we use symbols to explain trauma in a clear and visual way: simple objects like a bell, a folder and a phone. In this illustrated guide, Anne van den Ouwelant explains those symbols. This practical explanation proves to be an eye-opener. It is applicable worldwide, suitable for young and old.
