In July close to 50 staff members from The Princess Royal Youth Hostel (a facility under The Ministry of Human Development, Poverty Alleviation and Social Transformation) completed ROC’s Trauma Informed and Self Care Training at Om Shanti Belize . The training is designed to help the staff manage the clients they serve, understand vicarious trauma and also understand the importance of self care. Feedback from the training has been incredibly positive and encouraging . Evaluation forms reveal that the tools and awareness they acquired in the training has helped them both professionally and personally .

The relationship between ROC and the Princess Royal Youth Hostel started close to 2 years ago with ROC sharing mindfulness, yoga and wellness twice a week to the youth and now we are excited to soon offer the same to the staff.
