What is Humanitarian Havening?
Havening is a psychosensory technique designed to reduce emotional distress and enhance psychological well-being.
Humanitarian Havening is an initiative to bring the healing effect of Havening to emotionally distressed communities across the world- both near and far. It is easily taught and shared in groups, and can be passed on to other families, groups, and communities.
If you are already working with communities to provide relief, Havening is an easy add-on method for reducing distress and enhancing calmness. You can offer it while administering aid and resources.
Havening is also ideal for treating secondary trauma experienced by volunteers.
To summarize, using Havening in Humanitarian work provides a simple, safe, and lasting effect on trauma resolution, community recovery and resilience.
