"Anne articulates the information well with the partner institutions, which contributes to good teamwork. She is easy to relate to, she masters the contents and transmits safety."

This Psychotraumatology Project consists of a two-year training course in Psychotraumatology, Neurobiology, Attachment and Traumapedagogics for 34 Brazilian social workers who work with children, youngsters and their families in social projects in the violent slum areas of São Paulo and Porto Alegre. The primary goal of this project is to empower the local social workers, both professionally and personally. The secondary goal is to support the children, the youngsters and their families who are assisted by these social workers. In so doing, the project aims to interrupt and prevent the vicious cycle of violence. The project also prepares its participants with a view to broadening the content of the training to other organizations and projects through further training sessions and seminars.
The coordination of this project includes: needs analysis, preparation, the training itself, art workshops, supervision of peer groups and individual participants, logistical organization, (financial) reporting and evaluation.
