Our intention is to provide tools and approaches that can stabilise survivors after they have been exposed to traumatising events, help them to deal with events that trigger traumatic memories, and teach them how to regain control of their lives. A survivor that can use the tools available will eventually be able to do exercises that help to calm him even when he is stressed and experiencing flashbacks. When learned, these are effective tools that can be used in situations where few other resources or forms of therapeutic support are available. He will also know more about his own reactions and how to acknowledge his rights.
Look through our toolbox:
- Grounding exercises
- Human rights approach
- Window of tolerance
- Helping the helpers
- Five stories
- Tutorials
