“The great changes begin in each person; the basis for peace in the world is inner calm and peace in the heart of each individual” 

~Dalai Lama

2021 brought many moments of intense reflection for me. I looked around me in disbelief and longed for the moment to return to “normal”. My heart shook with the news about the alarming increase in the rates of violence in all parts of the world, with children being the main affected. And I thought “if only I had the opportunity to tell the world that PPAM's I decide method could help us understand and manage unpleasant and uncomfortable emotions much better, causing a state of well-being and joy that prevents violence...”. 

​

Despite the context, at PPAM we continue to work hard to meet the needs of children, youth population we serve and their families. And with great satisfaction I share with you that, despite the bewilderment and uncertainty, we succeeded. 

​

In terms of care for children, we worked with more than 500 children and teenagers through remote sessions and video capsules. We became editors, producers, and scriptwriters to accompany them to learn about their emotions, to prevent situations of violence, to communicate assertively; to improve their interpersonal relationships and to build a culture of peace among them and in their surroundings.
