Supporter Care Series
We are currently facing unprecedented times as we continue to combat the impact of COVID-19 pandemic across the globe. During such times it is completely understandable that some of us are experiencing a certain level of fear, stress and anxiety as we come to terms with the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
While we have a responsibility to look after the survivors of slavery, human trafficking and abuse that we walk with each day, we couldn’t do what we do without you. Therefore, as a valued supporter, we wanted to share some resources that we hope you will find useful in coping with the weeks that lie ahead.
Hagar counsellors in Cambodia and Vietnam have made a series of short videos, introducing a range of different techniques and activities that you and your family can do to help you stay mentally and emotionally well at this time. The techniques and activities covered are tools that our counsellors use in their everyday conversations with the survivors of slavery, human trafficking and abuse overseas. Our hope is that by sharing them with you now, they will be of some help to you in this season as well.
