Our project addressing domestic violence (ICES) received the visit of two psychologists Lyn Styczynski and Len Greenberg from the Boston area. They have been developing a program since 2017 in coordination with the Ministry of the Family, the National Autonomous University (FAREM-UNAN) in Estelí and the ICES project to identify and give follow up to cases of domestic violence in rural communities in the municipality of Estelí. They gave three 1/2 days training to a group of nurses working in the rural areas and a group of nurses working in Estelí's municipal health center.
