Art of Living Foundation has been involved in bringing aid to post-war Kosovo, delivering relief materials and supplies soon after the end of the conflict and since working for conflict resolution, assisting victims of post-traumatic stress disorder and teaching them the Stress Management Program.
Over 500 nurses, doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, psycho-social advisors and social workers employed in 7 Mental Health Centers all over Kosovo have taken the Art of Living Workshops. Based on their positive experiences, the Ministry of Health has requested that all the Mental Health Workers in Kosovo participate in the worksops and learn to deal with their own stress and prevent burnout. The Ministry has also requested that several of these healthworkers be trained to teach the Breath, Water, Sound Program to reach out to larger numbers of Kosovars.
Since May 2003, the Foundation's volunteers have:
- Provided food and clothing to the needy
- Cleared areas damaged by strife in conjunction with UN Civil administrators
- Conducted trauma relief courses for 700 people that included UN peacekeepers, torture victims, massacre witnesses and disabled KLA veterans in cooperation with the ministry of Health
- Conducted Trauma relief programs for 120 officers of the the Indian Special Police unit in Kosovo
