Coaching, training, and debriefing for resilience

At Petra, all of our programming helps facilitate transformative experiences within the context of supportive relationships.

We believe that integrating varied approaches to humanitarian staff care—from coaching and training to personal, group and critical incident debriefing—will enable us to provide a well-rounded and practical approach to caring for and equipping you, both when you come to us and also in the field.

“In Greek, petros means a single stone: insecure, shifting, rolling. Petra, however, means a mass of connected rock, a solid, fused formation. Petra Peacebuilders exists to form precisely such a community of individual stones who together become an enduring force of unshakable resilience in the face of today’s worst global threats.”

Petra is available to come alongside you to support you personally and professionally in whatever way best suits you:

“Petra is also a location in Jordan, a strong, fortress-like structure in a desert climate with an ancient, built-in watering system. Metaphorically speaking, this self-watering for resilience of heart, body, mind, and soul while working in tough places is what Petra Peacebuilders aims to produce in the people we serve.
”

Quality control

Petra aims to meet the highest ethical standards in all the professionals services we offer, utilizing only coaches certified by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and a vetted referral network of known and trusted counseling and psychologist professionals.


Note to those responsible for Human Resources: We know that specialized services like debriefing and coaching greatly reduce the likelihood of peacebuilders needing to leave the field for reasons of mental and emotional health. As a confidential third-party ally who understands your organizational aims, Petra welcomes the opportunity to partner with NGOs and INGOs to provide the benefits of our programming as an outsourced part of your staff care delivery.
