Trauma Recovery
Our Approach to Trauma Counseling
At Trauma Rescue Aid (TRAID), trauma counseling is not just a service, it is a shared journey of healing, led by survivors for survivors. As refugees ourselves, we understand the invisible scars left by war, the pain of displacement, the silence after ethnic cleansing, and the trauma of sexual violence used as a weapon of war against our mothers and sisters. These are not just stories we have heard, they are realities we have lived and witness.
We know how conflict can shatter families, isolate individuals, and destroy a sense of safety and identity. That is why our approach to trauma counseling is deeply personal, culturally grounded, and community centered.
What Makes Our Approach Transformative
Why Our Approach is Transformative.
We are from the same communities we serve. Our counselors are not outsiders, they are peers, neighbors, and fellow survivors. This creates deep trust, safety, and openness that is essential for healing.
Safe and Confidential Survivor-Led Spaces
We provide survivor-led spaces where women, girls, and families can share their stories without fear, shame, or judgment..
Culturally Sensitive Counseling
Our trauma counseling integrates traditional support systems with modern psychosocial techniques. We respect the cultural identities of our communities while introducing effective tools for emotional recovery.
Healing Through Connection
We use group therapy, peer support, and storytelling as tools to break isolation and build solidarity among survivors. In these shared spaces, many find not just healing but strength.
Family and Community Reconciliation
War often fractures families. We offer counseling that helps rebuild relationships, between parents and children, between spouses, and within communities divided by conflict and trauma.
