In order to contribute to, protect and reduce the negative impact of the current health crisis on the mental health and well-being of children, adolescents and their parents, in cooperation with UNICEF, with the support of USAID and relevant ministries, we continue education-training Virtual Crisis Intervention “Here & Now ”.

So far, over a hundred experts from the health, social care, upbringing and education sectors from Bosnia and Herzegovina have successfully completed the education / training.
