1st Introductory Workshop on “Reconstructing the Social Fabric of Communities after War Trauma”
Humanitarian workers are confronted with systemic challenges when helping post-traumatic communities reconnect and rebuild. Specific skills and knowledge are needed to provide social reconstruction of the community and healing of collective and individual traumas. At the same time, support is also needed for the helping professionals who are often exposed to the danger of burn-out. “Sense making” is an important element in dealing with this occupational stress.
This one-day workshop aims at introducing key social science theories and techniques in reconstructing post-traumatic communities while lending support to the “helpers” who are pressed to intervene in uncertain territory with limited authority and leverage.
