Those foundational studies fuel his interest in sound research practices and the human condition. Dr. Davamony’s graduate studies led him towards an MPH in Biostatistics and an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy. The culmination of his academic endeavors was realized when he completed his Doctor of Clinical Psychology from Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, CA. During his years as a minister, Dr. Davamony often provided care to people seeking support while navigating the stressors of their lives. These important interactions later steered him towards pursuing psychology, a union of evidence-based practices and his already established work in walking alongside people during difficult times. https://www.anovafamilyservices.org/psychological-first-aid daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/4393f9e9-c753-4443-a7e9-8438e60039c3/24.jpg Psychological First Aid - How does it work? Psychological first aid involves the understanding of what a community needs. We use the psychological first aid model to provide support and training to community leaders in communities that are under-resourced in mental health services in Sri Lanka and the U.S. Community leaders learn to provide psychological first aid to people in an emergency by employing the RAPID model: Reflective listening, Assessment of needs, Prioritization, Intervention, and Disposition. In the US, we may employ elements of psychological first aid, however, we primarily focus on immediate support with our qualified staff or referral to community resources that are developed and readily available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/9599626f-0800-4a4b-bc04-1e7b615a11f1/14+January+International+Kite+Day+Instagram+Post.png Psychological First Aid - Why Sri Lanka? Sri Lanka is a beautiful island with a rich cultural history and a resilient people who represent the best that this nation offers. Enmeshed within this rich tapestry Sri Lanka has been mired in several significant upheavals over many years. In 1983 Dr. Davamony’s family was driven out of Sri Lanka after his family was targeted at the beginning of what ended up turning into a civil war that dragged on for two decades with thousands of lives lost and survivors left with significant emotional and sometimes physical scars. In 2004 the island again experienced a catastrophe, with a tsunami that took over 30,000 lives and left many without homes. More recently, in 2019 the terrorist bombings of several churches on Easter Sunday took the lives of over 250 adults and children. At present, Sri Lanka, along with the world, faces the carnage left in the wake of Covid-19. The substantial weakening of the nation has affected the people and put the nation’s economy on a precipice. The persistent challenges that face Sri Lanka have created deep fissures in the emotional lives of many Sri Lankans. The periods of relative peace and stability are sandwiched between traumatic events that have a lasting impact. Dr. Davamony has committed his career to guiding people toward emotional wellness. He is honored to provide what support he can for the people of his home country of Sri Lanka in addition to his work in the Redlands area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/1650912199228-Y30JFQX585PO974BR7H5/28.png Psychological First Aid https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/1650912238114-2TML0SENCUMDK5UBD97N/25.png Psychological First Aid https://www.anovafamilyservices.org/contact daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://www.anovafamilyservices.org/faqs daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://www.anovafamilyservices.org/families-students daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/6589e0d4-1a30-40f7-890a-21a8837528e1/30.png Families and Students - “At the heart of our work is the understanding that the healing process extends beyond the student to the communities that shape their lives.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/2beebc10-5117-4d86-9885-297a34c46647/bruno-nascimento-eo11MS0FSnk-unsplash.jpg Families and Students - “At Anova Family services we offer therapy that is customized to each student and their environment; through Play Therapy and support of family systems in a safe environment.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/1650906412977-TDMNZ3AHZ2WXFND79Y9R/33.jpg Families and Students https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/1650906442243-RYZCQ99A17O5IDT0VBXJ/34.jpg Families and Students https://www.anovafamilyservices.org/schools-learning-centers daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/1650894837759-T3OU1HPH7LA38B2U507C/ryan-fields-Xz7MMD5tZwA-unsplash.jpg Schools and Centers of Learning - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea28ae23115442c1c0e0302/123c799b-0193-4734-9c0b-3566c8fce47f/8.jpg Schools and Centers of Learning - To get started, Anova offers a free one-hour consultation to principals and administrators to understand the role of a mental health consultant.
