Published February 26, 2025

“We have dealt with so many suicidal or high-risk clients. If this program is not able to continue, those innocent survivors of war trauma will continue to suffer, their children will continue to suffer. The community as a whole will continue to suffer.” Medhanye Alem, who served as clinical program director at CVT Ethiopia, comments about impacts of the funding freeze to Robin Young on the Here & Now program.
