This International Center for the Study, Prevention and Treatment of MultiGenerational Legacies of Trauma webinar focuses on the challenges experienced in integrating released genocide prisoners of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Presenters will outline the numerous, complex inter/multigenerational challenges experienced by a wide array of those affected, including victim/survivors, their families, and the cohabitation with the perpetrators and their families. The discussion will delineate multidimensional ways to meet the challenges, and draw parallels to other post-genocide situations around the world.
