From 7 to 8 May 2024, 30 school teachers from educational institutions from Cantemir, Leova and Cahul districts participated in a two-day training seminar on providing psychological support to children and adolescents who have experienced traumatic events and prevention of burnout. The seminar was carried out by four experts from the National Centre for Psycho-pedagogical Assistance, under the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova, who had strengthened their professional skills in previous trainings organised by the Council of Europe.
The training was designed in an interactive format and had a twofold objective. Firstly, to support teachers and staff working in education in providing assistance to children who have experienced traumatic events with a view to strengthen children’s resilience. Secondly, to strengthen the self-care skills of professionals and equip them with efficient coping techniques to prevent burnout.
Similar training sessions were organised in Chisinau and Balti cities. In total more than 100 teaching staff benefited from such trainings.
