Trauma Recovery Volunteers (TRV) in partnership with The Way To Happiness Philippines (TWTH-PH), the Department of National Defense (DND), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Mindanao State University (MSU), and the Southeast Asian Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) are collaborating in a multi-sectoral initiative to provide immediate action in reaching out to Marawi residents and evacuees to transfer trauma recovery and counseling skills on January 15-16 and 18-19, 2018 in the MSU Marawi Campus.

Private and public partnerships have been organized for this free service. The technology transfer provides for the techniques learned to eventually become a livelihood source in addressing immediate trauma relief needs, together with a comprehensive and long-term approach to help rehabilitate the mental, social, economic, and spiritual state of the affected population.
