Psychosocial Assistance Without Borders

What you see here is a series of pics in which trainees are learning relaxation techniques for themselves as well as their beneficiaries (clients): deep abdominal breathing, Muraqba “Noor” Meditation, and alternate nostril breathing.









Trainees in the heavily affected areas of Muzzafarabad and Mansehra spoke glowingly about the emphasis PAWB lays on self-care. Here are their words:

“In our work we really forget our self…”

“This was a very very good learning environment”

“…doctors we needs more workshops…”

And excerpted from a letter written by a field coordinator after the training: “During relief work due to continuous work I was so much tyred mentally and physically but after today training I am feeling now very well and become so much easier through breathing and murakabah exercises.”
