Are You a Front-Liner Working in Lebanon?
Working with trauma survivors and vulnerable communities is a noble mission, but can be very challenging. Hearing difficult stories and working in tough environments can impact our well-being and our ability to do our job effectively.

This Self-Care Workshop is here to help! Over four days, we will explore practical tools to manage stress, support our peers, and care for ourselves. This will help us thrive in our roles while maintaining ethical and professional standards.
