hagar international began a trauma informed care capacity building project in myanmar in 2017. The purpose of the project is to share hagar's expertise in trauma recovery services in a country with very limited social services support for those who have suffered trauma. The funding helped to support hagar to develop curriculum, train, and provide ongoing coaching for 4 large ngo's (serving tens of thousands of clients) on effective trauma care. The project continues in 2018 when the training of trainers model is implemented to expand the number of organizations who are trauma informed.
