Specialists in Post-Conflict Mental Health Support

Since 2011, CCVS has been a cornerstone in addressing the psychological aftermath in war affected areas. With support from the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and leading universities, we’ve developed an evidence-based approach to foster resilience and rebuild lives.
