Restoring the mental health of conflict-hit soldiers
Former security forces victims of the conflict
undergo a range of mental health problems. The Eelam war which
lasted for about 20 years in Northern Sri Lanka has caused numerous
physical and mental health ailments among the survivors. The LTTE or
the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam had captured a considerable
