Trauma Support for refugees

Fleeing and migration usually put people in severely traumatizing situations – with significant psychological consequences. However, a large proportion of traumatized people do not receive professional therapeutic help. We have recognized this problem. Our concept offers a simple and multipliable tool for support after a traumatization. Our Trauma Aid program does not provide psychotherapy, but a stabilizing and easily understandable initial support. Together with our cooperating partners and organizations, we strive to provide a broad and best possible care.

The concept

The core of the concept is the qualification of trauma supporters who can assist traumatized people, if possible in their native language. The concept is based on education about the effects of trauma together with simple physical exercises. The aim is to reduce individual symptoms and improve resilience.

With growing experience, our trauma supporters are given the opportunity to qualify as multipliers in order to pass on our concept to new supporters themselves. The intention is to achieve a broad impact

In order to reach as many people as possible, both on the support side and on the help-seeking side, we offer various formats.
