HEALING PROGRAMMES

According to psychologists, a large number of people suffer from some level of traumatic stress due to natural disasters like the tsunami, cyclone, floods and man made disasters such as war, conflict and domestic violence. Professionals working with the victims of these disasters highlight the need to teach techniques which can be used by these individuals to heal and move forward in their lives.
