Psychosocial & Medical Support

Behind every exposé or leaked document is a person under immense stress and danger. WAJSIC’s psychosocial and medical support helps truth-tellers cope, heal, and keep going — because mental and physical health are as vital as physical safety.

Why It Matters

Facing threats, harassment, or violence often leads to trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Many truth-tellers also suffer physical injuries or chronic stress-related illnesses.

WAJSIC’s approach ensures residents don’t just survive danger but recover from its invisible wounds.

What We Provide

Residents can access:

Trauma-informed individual and group counselling
Sessions with trained psychologists experienced in crisis care
Medical referrals and basic healthcare support
Peer support networks for shared understanding and solidarity

For Whom?

All WAJSIC residents, and in some cases, their dependents who’ve also experienced trauma linked to the truth-teller’s work.

Beyond Immediate Help

We also:

Support residents in building long-term coping strategies
Offer workshops on stress management and self-care
Help plan next steps for reintegration after shelter

Examples of Impact

Future Priorities
