Extensive Experience with Trauma Relief in War Zones and Disaster Sites
Since 1997 the International Association for Human Values has sponsored trauma relief programs giving instruction in unique, breathing-based trauma relief techniques. The techniques have proven successful in a variety of settings including: police departments, U.N. forces in Kosovo, active-duty Indian and Russian Military units, prisons, depression treatment courses (including in Baghdad after the U.S. occupation), and disaster survivors at the tsunami disaster, hurricane Katrina, Gujarat earthquake, and many other disaster sites.
