TRAUMA SUPPORT PROJECT IN SOLOMON ISLANDS
- Fr. Ambrose Pereira sdb, Director Catholic Communications Solomons
“I am indeed the ‘lucky one’ chosen for this programme and am definite that it will help me, youth, individuals and families in dealing with the problems of my parishioners”, states Fr. Jack Aitorea, Anglican Pastor at Vura. “ My grateful thanks to all”.
“I now have the tools to help the prisoners traumatized during the last 4 years”, states Gibson Ado, from the Prison Service.
“New Ideas, approaches and techniques have given me an opportunity to examine the way I function as a Trauma support worker. I realize that body language, words and tone matter much” states Sandra Ollie Porana.
12 participants at Don Bosco House of Prayer, Kola Ridge continue preparations as Trainers for the Trauma Support Workers Training Project. The programme commenced on 19th January and will conclude on 27th January, 2004. It has been financed by Caritas Australia and supported by the Archdiocese of Honiara. It aims to train people who will train local community participants as trauma support workers form the weather coast of Guadalcanal. Listening skills, techniques on questioning and how to read person’s feelings through body language have been much appreciated by the participants.
