In May, the psychologist of the Fund “Sukhumi” held meetings in the Women Support Centers of Senaki, Khurcha, Kutaisi, Terjola and Vani.
The topic of the meeting was "Emotions and stress". During the meetings, the psychologist used the so-called "Emotional parcels", where the names of emotions were written down. The participants showed emotions using the body language, which was both funny and interesting.
"Emotions are an integral part of our lives, and individual differences in their manifestation depend on age, past experience, physical condition of a person, his interests and activities, character, social environment, etc. Women learned a lot thanks to the exercises and will definitely use my advice in practice," noted psychologist Eka Kvacakidze.

Trained para-specialists of our organization actively work with mobilizers of Women Support Centers. Improving social work in individual communities helps reduce the risk of violence in families.
Para-specialists work with particularly vulnerable families (IDPs, socially vulnerable people, families under crisis). Providing them with information and giving them correct direction is an important tool in social work.
In May, twenty cases were identified and redirected to the relevant services and programs in all ten Women Support Centers. In parallel, monitoring is being conducted and the progress of cases identified in previous months is being checked. In their work, para-specialists actively use the manual published by the Fund “Sukhumi” - "A Guide on Social Work for Community Leaders: Supporting Women at Risk of Domestic Violence and Survivors of violence."

A psychologist of the Women Fund “Sukhumi” held meetings at the Women Support Centers in Senaki, Khobi, Tskaltubo, Vani and Terjola. During the meetings, she spoke about the harm of violence regarding children.
- Most children from families with violent atmosphere, show aggressive behavior. From an early age, a child has aggressive reactions, which persists for a long period of time. The outside world is hostile to the child, the sense of danger is heightened, and his reaction is likely to be aggressive. Therefore, parents should protect children from an aggressive environment from an early age, - notes psychologist Eka Kvachakidze.
Women consider the psychologist's advice useful, and meetings with her are very important for them.

What problems do women have in different communities, how do they solve these problems, how are cases of domestic violence identified and what challenges do they face - these are the main topics discussed at the mobilization meetings held in the Women Support Centers.
According to the participants, monthly meetings are a source of information for them - they learn new information, talk about their problems, try to help identify cases of violence and help women to solve community problems. They talked about the importance of economic support programs. They believe that women do not have the necessary skills to turn an idea into a project and have their own income.
Para-specialists actively work with mobilizers to identify cases of domestic violence and victim support services.

The meetings identified problems in the relationship between parents and children. Parents talk about their children's behavioral problems, but children do not like the situation in their families.
As noted during the meetings, family stability is determined by the ability of family members to resolve conflicts constructively. Personality distortion is an ordinary condition in a family where is an atmosphere of threat, cruelty and conflicts reigns. Unfortunately, there are many dysfunctional families around us which have no strength to meet the needs of their family members in terms of their personal and spiritual growth.
The psychologist of the Women Fund “Sukhumi” held meetings at the Women Support Centers of Terjola, Samtredia, Vani, Tsalenjikha and Khobi. Her advice was useful for women, so they always look forward to the meetings.
