Community Wellness Focusing

About The Program

Transforming The Conversation in Humanitarian Work

Psychosocial Support and Community Wellness is how we work in various traumatized places worldwide. Our Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) integrative program is facilitated by experienced teachers and facilitators from Focusing Initiatives International.
With minimal training, individuals can access their inner resilience and that of their community, allowing healing to begin. To harness local wisdom, we identify those who are already recovering and thriving, learn from their experiences, adapt effective strategies, and help them share their knowledge with others in their community.
