LA CASITA Hispanic Cultural Centre, in partnership with the Counter Trafficking Unit (CTU), UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Association for the Promotion of Mental Health (Amare Coopera), is conducting a training workshop for 25 officials involved in various programmes assisting victims of trafficking.

The training, called Hearth, is taking place from April 9 to 15 at the subregional headquarters of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), in Chancery Lane, Port of Spain.

Andreina Brinceño Ventura-Brown, director of La Casita, said this initiative seeks to strengthen trauma-informed care and self-care techniques for caregivers and survivors.
