Afghanistan

About This Project

Throughout decades of conflict and war and exacerbated by the most recent events, many people from Afghanistan suffer from anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and PTSD, a loss of hope and feelings of anger. At the same time, they carry great inner resources of resilience, hope and solidarity.

IAHV offers its global expertise in stress- and trauma-relief, empowerment and peacebuilding to support Afghan individuals, groups and families around the world to cope with the most recent events and gain energy to contribute towards the betterment of Afghanistan.

HRE Workshop (Healing, Resilience and Empowerment) - ONLINE

The HRE workshop is a low threshold workshop to address psycho-social consequences of conflict and violence, releasing acute and basic stress and fears, improving sleep and providing relief.

The HRE workshop is a basic IAHV intervention program that can reach a large number of individuals while still effecting strong personal benefits.

The workshops are evidence-based, inclusive, accessible, applicable across cultures and cost-effective. They have an immediate positive effect and empower participants with techniques they can continue practising independently to improve their own wellbeing.

Testimonials

Feeling very peaceful. Before the session there was tiredness and feeling of sadness, but now feeling very relaxed and very peaceful, and even feeling my whole outlook is brighter about myself and about life. Now I have discovered this positive and hopeful outlook and optimism for the future and the continuity of life.

Day 1 - October 2021

For the last two weeks since being evacuated, every night I was having nightmares that some person was trying to kill me. After the first day of the workshop, that night I did not have any of those nightmares anymore.

Thank you it was a great session for me, and for all of us. The techniques we learnt were very helpful. Today I feel more comfortable and calm. Especially in my mind, when I observe it. Thank you, I want to do more sessions and more breathing techniques.
