Helping the Helpers
At NATAN Worldwide Disaster Relief, Helping the Helpers is one of our core principles . In disaster zones, NGO teams are often comprised of young volunteers lacking previous experience in trauma or disaster relief. NATAN’s experienced professionals are able to help these helpers by providing guidance and techniques to relieve stress and ‘battle fatigue’.
