All servicesTrauma Healing and Mental Health Support Programs
Beyond Conflict helps people heal from trauma caused by violence, conflict, and displacement. They work in places like Central America, Jordan, and Central Asia to train police, hospital workers, teachers, and community helpers. Their programs teach people how trauma affects the brain and body, and give tools to feel better and seek help. They use storytelling, education, and self-care exercises led by trained peer helpers. The programs help reduce PTSD symptoms, fight mental health stigma, and build stronger communities that can prevent violence.
