Fostering peaceful communities and enhancing psychosocial wellbeing for individuals affected by crises.
Violence often begins with unhealed pain.
Healing changes how people respond, relate, and resolve conflict.
When communities heal, trust grows.
When trust grows, conflict loses its power.

Without addressing unhealed pain, peace remains fragile.

Peace agreements matter, but healing matters too.
Healing rebuilds trust, reduces violence, and strengthens communities.
That’s why CBS brings psychosocial support into peacebuilding at the community level.

Preventing #GBV requires collective responsibility, and men play a vital role in this change. #CBS engages men in constructive dialogue, helping them reflect on harmful norms, build healthier relationships, and contribute to safer communities for women and girls.

Addressing #GBV requires creating spaces where experiences can be safely expressed. In sociotherapy groups, women are guided through a supportive process that encourages dialogue, restores confidence, and empowers communities to recognize and address harmful practices.

Within Community-Based Sociotherapy, safety is the foundation of every group journey. Women can only begin to rebuild trust and process difficult experiences when they feel protected, respected, and free from judgment.
