Title: Support groups, “How are you, but really how are you?”
Description: The Network for Building Peace will organize six support groups with the aim of supporting and empowering the members of the Network in their daily life and work.

Support groups’ leader: The support groups will be led by Amela Puljek-Shank, MSc in Conflict Transformation from Eastern Mennonite University in Virginia, USA. Fields of work: trauma, identities and narratives, peace building, conflict transformation, supervision, self-care, support groups, currently a student in gestalt therapy under supervision.

Support groups will be held through the Zoom platform. Participants can choose to be anonymous on the Zoom (change the name and not use the video), if they want to maintain their anonymity. We understand that it is not easy to share your problems with a group of people you meet for the first time and thus all participants have the possibility of anonymity during the workshops.
Number of participants: 8
