Consultancy follow-up of severe cases of trauma
Community Based Sociotherapy Program
Part time consultancy July-December 2016
Introduction
The
Community Based Sociotherapy Program (CBSP) is initiated to improve
psychosocial well-being and strengthen interpersonal reconciliation and social
cohesion at the grass-roots level in Rwanda. Sociotherapy uses the group as a
therapeutic medium in the establishment of trust, the creation of an open
environment for discussion and the formation of peer-support structures. The
socio-groups facilitate community members to identify, acknowledge, share, and
manage together their everyday psychosocial problems related to the recent
history of political violence and its aftermath.
