Priests who Completed Courses of Psychological Aid in Emergency Situations Start Working with Refugees

Moscow, August 1, 2014

    

The first graduates of “Complex Aid in Crisis Situations” courses have started their work at the centers of temporary accommodation of refugees in the Rostov region, reports the website of the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Ministry.

Priests and other church representatives who have completed the courses regularly talk with the refugees, rendering them psychological aid. The specialists’ task includes helping people adapt to the difficult situation that has taken shape.

As part of the courses organized by the Southern Federal University and the Department for Religious Education and Cathechization of the Rostov Diocese, 13 church representatives have mastered skills in rendering competent aid in critical situations—natural calamities and those caused by people, and terrorist acts—and have learned to work with people who are experiencing a crisis of a personal nature.

    

On July 31, the priests who had completed the courses came to the refugees in Novocherkassk. They delivered basic necessities, clothes, and toys to the Ukrainian citizens and talked with the people.
