IJM Ghana trains child protection and justice professionals in trauma-informed care

The International Justice Mission (IJM) Ghana, in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Community Development, law enforcement agencies, Community Child Protection Committees and the judiciary, has completed a two-day training programme aimed at strengthening survivor-centred responses within Ghana’s child protection and justice systems.

Commitment to survivor dignity Speaking at the close of the training, Aftercare Manager at IJM Ghana, Vida Mamle-Selorm Hodinyah, said trauma-informed care goes beyond professional expertise and reflects a commitment to recognising survivors’ experiences.“Trauma-informed care is not merely a professional skill, it is a commitment to recognising the experiences of survivors and responding in ways that promote healing and dignity,” she said.
