Building Dynamic Emotional Security in “post-conflict” Communities

Since 2006 we have worked in Kosova, Colombia, & the Philippines, as well as in the USA with Vietnam war veterans.We have worked in Northern Ireland for over 20 years.

We work with ANY individual affected in any way by violent or emotional conflict.

“In order to make ourselves autonomous peace builders, we have to make ourselves financially sustainable”

We are NOT therapists. We are NOT counsellors.

Instead, we use therapeutic educational processes to help people to help themselves & their communities emotionally….especially at times where international support agencies have left the conflict arena.

A major tool we use is to humanise the conflict itself by encouraging participants affected by civil unrest to discuss personal FEELINGS about the past as opposed to history or politics of the past.Our reasoning is based on people we’ve met who turned to violence for emotional rather than political or military reasons.

Although we work with ANY individual, a big part of our work has been with families of RUC & UDR officers killed in Northern Ireland.

Much of the work is deliberately done on a very low key basis. The work is not in any way political, but instead addresses the emotional needs of individuals deeply hurt by violent acts.
