Short Description of the Project

The aim of the project PLACE (Protection, Legal, Accommodation, Coordination and Education) is to guarantee access to multi-sectoral services allowing refugees and vulnerable Moldovans the necessary support to manage and rebuild their life, while at the same time ensuring local authorities and CSOs have the capacity to prepare and eventually respond to a new influx of refugees.

These will be provided by qualified psychologists and counsellors with specific focus on crisis intervention, coping with critical life issues, disorders associated with traumatic events and experiences, such as PTSD and other adjustment disorders, stress related disorders. Additionally, the facilitators will be trained to provide non-specialized PSS assistance and facilitate group sessions for women, children and other vulnerable and marginalized groups.

The activities will also aim at strengthening children’s capacity to cope with stressful situations, particularly in emergency/displacement situations. These will include group therapy sessions, individual trauma counselling tailored for this specific age group, structures activities for children.
