Abstract
Since 1995, Rwanda commemorates every year from the 7th to the 13th April the genocide perpetrated against Tutsi in 1994. This second week of April is annually associated in Rwanda with an increase in traumatic crises whereby many people participating in commemorating ceremonies present with various symptoms, including re-experiencing traumatic events of the 1994 genocide. These crises can affect hundreds of people at big commemoration events and are accompanied by a degree of urgency that disturbs the whole assembly. Our presentation will aim to a) depict these crises representing one of the common clinical features of postgenocide trauma in Rwanda, b) describe the content and the evolution of an emergency intervention model generated to respond to this situation and c) discuss the results of a study on a group therapy model in post-crisis phase for people who experience repeated traumatic crises in the context of the genocide commemoration in Rwanda. The resilience of people and mental health professional in Rwanda after the genocide will also be discussed in conclusions.Biography
