Webinars
Our webinars started during COVID as a way to share knowledge and information between US and Armenia. After the 44 Day Artsakh War, our webinars were an important resource for providers in Armenia to learn about evidence-based approaches and assessments for post-conflict rehabilitation needs. We continue to provide free webinars to make information accessible. All webinars are in English and Armenian language. Handouts and slides can be found for each presentation as well. Please consider donating to help keep our resources free and accessible to all.
