Brotherly Relief Mission Initiative (BRMI) successfully conducted a one-day Capacity Building Training on Psychosocial Support (PSS) and Trauma Healing for its staff and volunteers in Benue State, Nigeria, on 11 March 2026.
The training was designed to strengthen participants’ knowledge and practical skills in understanding trauma, recognizing its impact on individuals and communities, and delivering appropriate psychosocial support in humanitarian and community settings.
Key areas covered included:
- Understanding trauma and its underlying causes
- Identifying signs and symptoms of trauma
- Delivering effective psychosocial support services
- Applying community-based approaches to trauma healing and recovery
- Promoting self-care and staff well-being while supporting vulnerable populations
Participants were also introduced to the Trauma LENS approach (Look, Explore, Needs, Support), a practical framework that equips frontline workers with structured techniques for identifying needs, responding appropriately, and strengthening community resilience.
Through this initiative, BRMI continues to invest in building the capacity of humanitarian workers and volunteers to provide quality psychosocial support, foster trauma-informed communities, and enhance the resilience and well-being of vulnerable populations across Nigeria.
