Pilot Program Sociotherapy in Goma, DRC

Most of us have a wife who was raped

In this group we are healing one another

The set up of this program was inspired by the positive impacts of sociotherapy as practiced in Rwanda. Eight 3rd year ISL students mental health or trauma counselling were trained and successively started four sociotherapy groups. Each pair of students facilitates one of these groups.
