As part of our ongoing efforts to support our frontline staff, the Treatment and Rehabilitation Center for Victims of Torture held the second part of the training titled "Talk to Me"—an initiative aimed at supporting the mental health of frontline workers during and after emergencies. The training was conducted for fifteen employees on Monday and Tuesday, December 23-24, at the Caesar Hotel. The sessions were facilitated by psychologist and trainer Nadeen Dweik, who covered several important topics, including:
• The importance and essence of self-care: Introducing methods and practices to support frontline workers and enhance their mental well-being.
• Focusing on self-care and stress management: Exploring practical approaches to self-care and addressing the importance of managing stress to cope with loss and grief.
• Stress management and adaptation: Presenting effective techniques and strategies to help participants manage pressures effectively.
• Self-assessment for stress management: Guiding participants to evaluate their current methods for handling stress and develop individualized self-care plans.
The training aims to improve the psychological well-being of frontline staff who face immense challenges and pressures while carrying out their duties during and after emergencies. It also seeks to empower participants to develop personalized self-care and stress management plans, enabling them to maintain psychological and emotional balance while performing their responsibilities.
Together, we continue to promote the health and well-being of field workers—they are the first line of defence during times of crisis!
