A section of civil society activists in Sudan’s West Kordofan State have been trained in psychological trauma support skills, a local organization reported.
Muzna Voluntary Organization on Saturday said it organized workshops in several towns across West Kordofan State focusing on psychological trauma and first aid.
In a press statement seen by Radio Tamazuj, Buthaina Hammad, a member of Muzna Voluntary Organization, said the project targeted 80 participants from emergency room members from the localities of Al-Foula, Abu Zabad, Babanousa, and Al-Nuhud.
“The project includes training in life-saving first aid and healing from psychological trauma,” Hammad stated. “The initiative is named (Rehabilitation and Training of Emergency Rooms, Youth of West Kordofan.”
Meanwhile, Iman Abdel Hamid, one of the trainees, said the workshop was beneficial because it enhanced her life-saving and first-aid skills and how to deal with psychological trauma.
“The workshop came at the right time given the state’s emergency conditions,” she stated.
West Kordofan is experiencing intense clashes between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in several areas, particularly in the Babanousa locality. This has led to high waves of displacement and extremely complex humanitarian circumstances.
