Who We Are and What We Do
CBI is a non-profit, Non-Government Organization that works to increase skills and services locally to promote sustainable social healing and conflict transformation, and to expand public dialogue, awareness, and research in critical issues.
Since 1990 we have organized and sponsored 50+ international, inter-disciplinary conferences, and numerous professional skills training and treatment programs for local capacity building in human services and civil society in developing societies that are regions of conflict.
CBI and it’s partner organization, International Humanistic Psychology Association, publish an online journal, the International Journal of Communal and Transgenerational Trauma, as a global mechanism for sharing research, theory, practical applications, and policy, as well as personal experience and perception through the expressive arts, in addressing the dynamics and effects of trauma at the individual and communal levels.
Help support our life-saving services to refugee children and their families.
