Gulu is a province in Northern Uganda with a population of 120,000 residents and the site of internally displaced persons camps which house more than 1 million internees. It is located about 110 miles north of the Ugandan capital of Kampala. The clinic there will represent the first sustainable psychiatric service for victims in war-torn Northern Uganda. Doctors and caregivers will treat diseases caused by mass violence and terrorism: psycho-trauma, traumatic depression, PTSD and anxiety syndromes. The clinic opening also marks the opportunity for the PCAF to operate on the frontlines of post-conflict regions and at the same time gather data on the treatment of highly traumatized Ugandans.Peter C. Alderman Foundation Announces Opening of New Mental Health Clinic in Uganda"This clinic will serve as a lifeline for an increased number of Ugandans suffering from psychological trauma and marks the first true test of our unique clinic model and our private/public partnership with the government, the academic community and the churches," said Stephen Alderman, co-founder of PCAF. "It is the second leg of a three phase program to help heal the mental wounds of all survivors in this war-torn country."
