Community leaders from Mundri, Mvolo and Mapuordit are undergoing three-day training on inter-communal conflict, trauma and psychosocial recovery.
Civil Society Organization for Nonviolence and Development, ONAD drew 25 community leaders to acquire skills in tackling trauma, Radio Bakhita reports.
Moses Monday John, an Executive of ONAD says with years of conflicts in South Sudan, trauma remains one of the most difficult vices to control.
Peace and stability in South Sudan can reduce trauma, Monday says.
Reverend Esther Muola, a participant from Mundri says the training helps recovering from stress of war that displaced many citizens in Western Equatoria last year.
She says she will use the skills acquired from the workshop to train community members on healing and conflict resolution.
Observers including civil society activists say nearly all South Sudanese are traumatized given the spell of wars in the country for over 50 years.
