Psychosocial Assistance Without Borders

Check out this great organization: http://www.pawb99.blogspot.com/

PAWB's mission is to provide definitive training and support that sustains relief workers who work selflessly in our world’s crisis situations.


In December 2005, PAWB trained nearly 200 earthquake relief workers in Pakistan. It has done various consulations and trainings with several organizations in India.


All too often, relief workers, volunteers, and caregivers are overworked, or they are underprepared to provide psychosocial treatment. PAWB’s goal is to ensure that we retain these workers (rather than burn them out), and teach them sustainable, culturally-appropriate ways to give disaster victims psychosocial first aid.
