Trauma Helper*in

Trauma help for refugees

Many people suffer from trauma or acute stress due to their experiences while fleeing or in their country of origin. Unfortunately, due to the lack of suitable therapy places, the majority of them only receive therapeutic help very late, and sometimes never at all. ArrivalAid Trauma Help can serve as a supportive measure to better deal with the consequences of trauma. It does not replace therapy, but can help to better deal with individual stressful situations and strengthen individual resilience.

The concept

As they gain experience, helpers have the opportunity to qualify as multipliers in order to further convey our concept to new helpers themselves. This is intended to achieve a high level of broad impact.

In order to reach as many people as possible, both on the supportive side and those seeking help, we offer various formats.
