Building PTSD Treatment Capacity in Azerbaijan: PASHA Sigorta’s Role
In 2022, PASHA Sigorta, one of Azerbaijan’s leading insurance companies, partnered with the For Azerbaijan Foundation to tackle a pressing healthcare need: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The “Capacity Building for Psychologists” project aimed to equip local mental health professionals with cutting-edge PTSD treatment methods like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Written Exposure Therapy (WET).
The initiative trained over 50 local psychologists, ensuring sustainable, high-quality mental healthcare in Azerbaijan. PASHA Sigorta’s funding of 255,000 AZN was pivotal in facilitating workshops, supervised treatments, and publication of manuals in Azerbaijani. Additionally, a mobile app was developed to support remote therapy access, aligning with PASHA Sigorta’s commitment to corporate social responsibility.
This collaboration exemplifies how corporate entities can drive impactful change, especially in areas of mental health.
