Can community-based mental health care break the cycle of regional violence?
In short: In high-risk regions like El Salvador, recurrent trauma fuels persistent homicide rates. This video explores how equipping frontline workers with mental health skills can disrupt these cycles and provide healing to millions.
Celina de Sola and her team at Glasswing International are working to transform mental health support in Central America. By training government employees, such as police officers and teachers, they aim to provide essential care within the communities that need it most.
The initiative focuses on 25 of the highest-risk municipalities, targeting more than 2,000 frontline institutions. This community-based approach seeks to reach nearly 10 million people to help mitigate the impact of collective and individual trauma.
