Support for professional teams

Clinical supervision

We offer support and guidance to professionals working in the field of mental health and care for individuals who are victims of political violence, abuse, and torture.

Support for teams

Working with situations of violence can lead to processes of burnout and suffering, which not only cause distress and reduce the ability to provide support, but also hinder teamwork. Therefore, our team conducts clinical supervision sessions with other professionals to establish new support spaces, identify types of violence, share distress, and develop new joint coping strategies.
