Peace isn’t possible without healing. That’s why Peace By Us integrates MHPSS into all its work. Community members are trained as lay counsellors to offer basic psychological support, help people manage stress, and refer complex cases to professionals.

These counsellors work quietly but powerfully—listening, reassuring, and restoring hope. In many communities, they are the first point of support after conflict or crisis.

Group counselling sessions, expressive therapy (like basket weaving and mural painting), and trauma awareness training all help communities rebuild their inner resilience.
