Today we awarded certificates for the first group of 10 final-year students of psychology, social work, law, sociology and related studies, who completed a 3-month internship at the Counseling Center of the Association, where we have been providing free-of-charge direct assistance to potential and genuine victims of human trafficking, contemporary slavery, gender-based violence and child abuse. During the internship, the interns acquired practical knowledge and skills in organizing the work of a counseling center, manners and methods of direct work with clients, which will enable them to apply the already acquired knowledge in practice.

The internship was one of the activities implemented within our project "Prevention of gender-based violence in Herzegovina Neretva Canton and West Herzegovina Canton".

We thank our interns for their engagement and commitment during the internship.
