We develop psychosocial programs, provide trauma rehabilitation services and deliver clinical psychology training around the world in four domains:
War and Conflict (veterans, internally-displaced refugees, child-soldiers, emergency service support)
Human Trafficking (aftercare services for survivors of sexual exploitation)
Natural Disaster (emergency response, critical incident debriefing & rehabilitation)
Adolescent Mental Health (combatting youth suicide & promoting health)
Trauma Rehabilitation
Our structured group-based emotional resiliency and post-traumatic growth interventions are specifically designed to help people impacted by traumatic life events. More than 2.5 million survivors of war, natural disaster and sexual exploitation have graduated from our programs.
THE EMPOWER PROGRAM
EMPOWER (first developed in 2006 and now in its 7th Edition) is designed to equip participants with important emotional regulation and mental processing skills that resolve significant mental, emotional and behavioral challenges commonly associated with tragedy, torture, trauma. EMPOWER is based on years of professional clinical intervention and research trials worldwide and currently exists in English, Acholi, Swahili, French, Khmer, Russian, Arabic, Spanish and Ukrainian.
The EMPOWER program is best known for its:
Use with ethnically diverse survivors of war, natural disaster and sexual exploitation (human trafficking)
Transferability and cultural sensitivity (currently being used throughout Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, South America, and the Middle East)
Widespread use by non-professionals (counselors, teachers, youth workers, pastoral care providers, and humanitarian workers)
THE GROW PROGRAM
GROW (first developed in 2015 and now in its 3rd Edition) is designed to help participants ‘grow’ through critical incidence and tragic circumstances. Based on scientific research into post-traumatic growth (PTG) and key ethical constructs, the program helps ‘cultivate’ core character strengths for the acceleration of mental health and emotional resilience.
The GROW Program is best known for its:
Use with Syrian, Iraqi, Afghani refugees (including Yazidi, Christian, and Muslim faiths)
Use in active/ongoing civil-conflicts in Africa and Eastern Europe
Application in schools (Youth Specific Version) to enhance mental heath (and combat youth suicide)
Capacity to aid recovery from displacement, traumatic life events, and emotional despair (typically due to loss of property, loved ones, and livelihood)
All the work on The Frontline is made possible through:
Our programs are designed to be delivered by indigenous facilitators under urgent and poorly resourced conditions (i.e. refugee camps) in ways that are cost effective, sustainable, culturally appropriate, and easily accessible.
