Our pioneering initiative, the first in Nigeria, has championed Grief and trauma counseling and support since the inception of the Aart of life foundation in 2002, about thirteen years ago.

This groundbreaking work has become even more significant now with the increasing terror attacks in the Country, and the consequences… heavy mortality and morbidity and the increasing number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the country.

As a rallying point for all stake holders and to set an agenda for rapid and effective interventions for the grieving and traumatized victims and their families and to celebrate and share our experiences of the last 13 years in our groundbreaking work in grief and trauma counseling, the Aart of life foundation is organizing a one-day symposium“Developing a frame work for disaster Management in Africa; the Nairobi experience and the Nigeria Challenge”.
