Staff and Volunteers

SalusWorld takes its name from Salus, the Roman goddess of health and prosperity who later became the protector of the continuation of state health. SalusWorld, unlike many other consulting agencies, has the distinct advantage of having well trained psychologists and therapists with international experience to link theory to practice, and to offer psychological support for those in need. Due to the breadth and depth of international experience of SalusWorld clinicians, we fill a unique niche of providing quality, clinically-sound, culturally contextualized, appropriately supervised mental health interventions for national and international staff in their working environment.

The members of our team have experience working to establish and support psychosocial programs in Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as locations here in the United States with asylum seekers and resettled refugees. In these environments we have worked with persons traumatized from the effects of war, crime, political conflict, natural disasters, child abuse, crimes against women and children, sexual abuse and epidemics such as HIV/AIDS.

In addition to our international work, psychosocial experience and clinical backgrounds in trauma treatment, SalusWorld clinicians have extensive expertise in program evaluation and outcome measures. We know how to design and implement procedures to assess the effectiveness of psychosocial programs and have advanced training and experience in research design and management. This allows us to assess the effectiveness of implemented programs. Each of our members also has experience and training in academics and teaching.
