Conflicts are a common feature of human society, and many such conflicts result in deadly consequences that persist for years, decades, or even generations. One such incident occurred in the Indian state of Gujarat, where a communal conflict led to significant loss of life and the displacement of more than one million individuals. The violence, curfews, and forced migrations affected multiple areas and continued over a period of three months. In response to this volatile situation, several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) collaborated to form a forum aimed at supporting survivors. The first major initiative was the establishment of Aman Samudaya (“Community for Peace”), followed by the launch of the Gujarat Harmony Project (GHP). Psychosocial care interventions commenced promptly, with local community volunteers being identified and trained by NGOs that were part of the forum. Volunteers were trained in seven core skills necessary to provide psychosocial support, facilitate community engagement through various activities, and contribute to broader peacebuilding efforts. The primary objective of the program was to promote peace and harmony among community members through psychosocial support. The key components of the program included: (1) capacity building for staff and volunteers through training of trainers (ToT) sessions, cascade trainings conducted by ToT graduates, and regular follow-up workshops; (2) provision of supportive supervision in the field; (3) development and dissemination of psychosocial support materials such as manuals, pamphlets, and posters; and (4) identification of community strengths that could be leveraged to design peacebuilding initiatives tailored to the capacities of participating NGOs. Various models of peacebuilding were subsequently developed with different NGOs, including initiatives such as ‘communal harmony through activity centers,’ ‘community events and peacebuilding,’ ‘self-help groups for promoting harmony,’ ‘community-based organizations (CBOs) and microfinance for peacebuilding,’ ‘youth and women for reconciliation,’ and ‘life skills education for promoting harmony and resilience.’ To evaluate the effectiveness of the psychosocial support model, a study employing an experimental and control group design was conducted. The findings demonstrated significant differences between the groups. Communities that received psychosocial support exhibited lower levels of distress and disability, a more optimistic outlook, greater action orientation, higher satisfaction with neighborly relations, and reduced healthcare-related costs.
