DJAG STAFF UNDERGO TRAINING
Staff of the Department of Justice & Attorney General (DJAG) are daily exposed to complex legal cases and sensitive matters involving survivors of violence and require specialized skills in trauma-informed response and stress management while engaged on the ground to provide legal support and uphold justice.
As part of the EU-PNG Partnership for Good Governance (P4GG), the European Union is funding a workshop to train them on Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse & Harassment (PSEAH).
The training is carried out by a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) specialist, equipping DJAG personnel with survivor-centered approaches, strengthening referral pathways, and enhancing awareness of stress and vicarious trauma.
The three-day event was opened by DJAG Secretary, Dr Eric Kwa, whose commitment to capacity-building reflects strong leadership in promoting a more responsive approach in government institutions.
