All the trainers engaged in Klimaka's training program are members of the scientific society of Greece. They are accredited psychiatrists, psychologists or with degrees closely related to health. Most of them have a long experience in training and all of them joined us in this project as volunteers, boosting with their knowledges our heavy task.

Trainers of the introductory phase
This phase started in August 2005 and it was completed 2 months later. The aim was to introduce our experience from Greece to Afghan psychiatrists in legal, deontologic and organization issues and as well to present the active teaching methods. This phase consisted of lectures and a 3-day workshop.
