Trauma Recovery Training and
Treatment (CTR)
A humanitarian relief effort designed
to provides on-site intensive "training of trainers" in catastrophic
trauma recovery skills by teams of mental health specialists to local
professionals and relief workers assisting large civilian populations
experiencing trauma in regions of conflict, such as the Caucuses, Middle
East, and Balkans. The project uses an integrated training/treatment
model (CTR) for working with large populations of catastrophic trauma
victims that is simple, standardized, repeatable, time sensitive, applicable
cross-culturally, and easily taught. Assistance is intended for health
professionals and relief workers from anywhere and is also appropriate
for treating trauma due to natural catastrophe. CTR training teams are
provided by an international consortium of professional training organizations.
This humanitarian relief effort is endorsed and supported by local NGO
organizations.

Bait
Al Hayat / House of Life
Children's
Trauma Treatment Center
A
project to collaborate
with local human service workers in establishing and operating a children's
trauma treatment center in Nablus and the northern region of the West
Bank, Palestine. The center is intended
to provide critically needed trauma recovery services to large numbers
of children and their families suffering from psychological and emotional
trauma due to war and violence, and who are going untreated. The long
term goal is to increase the capacity of local services and relief workers
in providing desperately needed direct intervention and treatment to
victims of trauma where huge portions of the population have been impacted.
The project is designed to address both immediate and long term treatment
needs and to build close working relationships with local service and
aid organizations, as well as linking them with international professional
mental health organizations for support. Local staff will also provide
public education in self-help skills and resources to victim populations
and their community. An added benefit is the invaluable investment in
future health services in general for the region
Capacity
For Peace and Democracy - Palestine
A collaborative project with Al
Azhar University In Gaza and the Arab American University In Jenin -
AAUJ (West Bank) in the West Bank to establish a Center for Conflict
Resolution and Human Rights at each university, and provide a pool of
visiting professors and curriculum in Human Services (psychology, social
work, health science, education) and Civil Society (democratic studies,
conflict resolution/mediation, government, political science, economics/business).
The purpose is to help prepare future leaders in Palestinian society
and local professionals skilled in providing critical human services
to the population, all to increase capacity for a viable, peaceful Palestinian
nation. Another aspect is creating opportunities for NGO's and community
based institutions and universities in Palestine and Israel to cooperate
on issues that promote understanding, acceptance, reconciliation, and
forgiveness. To date a Center for Conflict Resolution and Human Rights
has been established at Al Azhar University.
