She also founded an innovative and successful peer mediation program in Germany, R3SOLUTE, which empowers refugees and local people to resolve and prevent community conflicts through peer-to-peer dialogue and mediation. Helen has worked with the United Nations Office of the Ombudsman and Mediation Services (UNOMS) and is an ambassador for the International Justice Mission in Germany.
