- Capacity Building for Victim Advocatesmethodology: capacity_buildingBy offering professional development, peer connection, and self-care opportunities, the foundation enhances the capacity of victim advocates to serve trauma-affected individuals because sustained caregiver well-being improves service quality and reduces burnout.
- Emotional Support Through Care Kitsmethodology: emotional-support-through-care-kitsBy providing comfort kits with practical and emotional support items during prolonged waits in official settings, the foundation reduces stress and emotional distress for families of victims because tangible care mitigates feelings of helplessness in high-anxiety environments.
