22 participants took part in a three-day TRT training

From the 24th to 26th November 2023, three-days TRT trainings were delivered online to English-speaking participants. The training was led by Dr Masa Al-kurdi and Helen Christie.

A total of 22 participants took part in the training, most of which were either working in the humanitarian response of war and conflict zones or working with refugees in school settings. All participants have a wide range of experience working with children affected by trauma.

The training was held online for three days via zoom conference call. The training sessions were split between lecture-style sessions and practical sessions. The lecture-style sessions allowed for training on the manual, Q and A and discussions about delivery of the sessions and techniques. In the practical sessions, participants were split up into working groups (zoom rooms) and would practice techniques through role play activities of the techniques and delivery of parts of the sessions. The practical sessions allowed for further discussions and Q and A. This gave the chance for everyone to practice delivering the sessions multiple times and obtain comprehensive feedback on ways to improve their skills. It allowed the trainer to assess participants knowledge and understanding of the program.
