Does Capacitar do therapy?
Capacitar uses a popular education approach, rather than a therapeutic approach. Workshop leaders are educators, not therapists or counselors. Capacitar places skills in the hands of the people so they can do for themselves. In many places where Capacitar works individual therapy is not culturally appropriate while education is valued and accepted. The Capacitar educational approach is an important way to meet the needs of many traumatized people in places of massive trauma and violence where there are often not enough individual therapists.
