Our services are structured around four integrated pillars, ensuring holistic mental health and psychosocial support for the Northern and Eastern communities of Sri Lanka, particularly those affected by conflict and trauma.
We build sustainable capacity by developing local psychosocial expertise. This involves creating and delivering specialized training programs to professionals and community-based volunteers.
We establish decentralized PSS networks to empower communities to manage their own psychosocial well-being, fostering local resilience and support systems.
We provide professional, confidential, and free psychological support services focused primarily on victims of conflict, torture, and post-war trauma.
We offer specialized accompaniment and focused programs for high-risk populations facing compounded vulnerability due to conflict, economic challenges, and social injustice.
