Whistleblowers Activist and Journalists safety international centre is healing the healers. Restoring those who risk everything for the truth. 🧠🕊️

The Whistleblowers, Activists and Journalists Safety International Center (WAJSIC), with support from the Netherlands Embassy in Ghana, has held a three-day intensive mental health workshop for residents in hiding.

Facilitated by clinical psychologist Dr. Rita Appiah-Danquah, the workshop focused on trauma, PTSD, emotional resilience, forgiveness, and breaking the cycle of violence.

One participant—a radio presenter attacked and shot in the hand—shared how the workshop transformed his desire for vengeance into emotional recovery:

"My intention was that when I recover from here, I am going back to the battlefield. But per the topics we have gone through, it has washed all those things from my mind."

They fled for their lives. Now they are learning to live again.
