Haiti’s 9.7 million people have been traumatized by both the earthquake and the ongoing aftermath– loss of family and friends, jobs and infrastructure, fear and violence in tent camps, and lack of either adequate mental health assistance or hope. The Center has designed a nationwide program to train several thousand clinicians and educators to provide help and healing to hundreds of thousands of Haitians.
- 120 Haiti care providers have been trained in mind-body medicine.
- A Leadership Team of 15 clinicians has been developed and Linda Delmont Métayer, MA, MPH has been appointed Country Director.
- A second round of Initial and Advanced Mind-Body Medicine trainings are scheduled in 2012.
- The Center provides ongoing clinical supervision, program development and financial support.
