Trauma awareness, healing, and group counselling in secondary schools
Ten years after war and genocide in Rwanda took almost a million lives; trauma still exists on a large scale. This is especially true amongst adolescents where it hampers the process of reconciliation. As a result, crisis outbreaks frequently occur at secondary schools. In this article, an intervention for secondary schools is described that promotes trauma awareness and healing within a school environment. This intervention appears to succeed in preventing trauma crisis: in the four schools covered by the project, no crisis took place. It also accelerated the process of reconciliation amongst the students from different ethnic groups: they were able to commemorate and mourn together with dignity.
