Mental Health Relief Program
Our Mental Health Relief Program is a pilot program initiated in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq with the objective of supporting the mental well-being of orphan children within DOLSA Duhok State Houses. A vast majority of these children have experienced trauma, which has had adverse effects on their mental and physical health.
Trauma is a common issue faced by individuals with refugee and IDP status. They may have witnessed or experienced violence, loss of loved ones, and displacement from their homes and communities. This trauma can manifest in various forms, such as high anxiety, phobias, and emotional and behavioral problems.
Our program aims to alleviate these common ailments through psychotherapy that couples treatment and education. By working directly with individuals who generally lack self-determination and adequate access to mental health resources, we hope to support them in their recovery and help them to integrate with society.
It is crucial to address the trauma faced by refugees and IDPs as it has a significant impact on their mental and physical health. Without proper treatment, it can lead to long-term mental health issues and hinder their ability to rebuild their lives. Our Mental Health Relief Program is a step towards addressing this need and providing support for those who have experienced trauma.
