Introduction

While most of us have learnt how to manage stress in our everyday lives, trauma like natural disasters, tragic accidents, domestic violence, and rape could cripple and debilitate our functioning system to work, eat and sleep. Even simple tasks like household chores would drain us of our energy.

Many such victims suffer in silence as their friends and family members often do not understand their suffering and not knowing how to help them. This workshop will help you to know how and when to provide basic care, comfort, and support to people experiencing trauma or disaster-related stress.

Objectives

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

• Understand crisis and trauma and the impact on self, family, and community
• Recognise symptoms of psychology-related stress, and know where to get the necessary assistance
• Identify ways to take care of yourself before, during and after providing support to the survivors
• Know how to help and when to refer client for professional help

Target audience

Church staff, lay counsellors, parents and any others who wish to be more effective in walking alongside people with trauma.
