Our Programs
People world-wide struggle with normal life transitions and the traumas of illness, divorce, unemployment, accidents, and death. Today we are increasingly threatened with job loss, violent crimes, ethnic and gender conflict, illness (e.g., AIDS), homelessness, disaster, and the hazardous impact of environmental pollution on health, home, and our general well-being. As stress and anxieties increase, suicide and homicide have become leading causes of death in many societies, while millions of women, children, and older adults are abused by partners or caretakers.
The impact of such events takes its toll in economic loss, insecurity, and vulnerability to further risk. Individuals, families, communities, and human service providers struggle to respond to these stressful developments, while addressing new demands in an era of fiscal constraint and global change.
Here are ways we can work together:
- Consultation
- Workshops
- Trainer-training for health, social service, and grassroots workers - nationally and internationally
- Crisis Intervention
- Suicide & Violence Prevention
- Care of Victim/Survivors of Violence & Abuse
