Statement

Call for immediate protection of children and their rights in the Gaza Strip and Israel

October 10 2023 - The escalation of conflict in the Gaza Strip and Israel has already led to the loss of hundreds of lives, thousands of injured and hundreds of thousands of families displaced and in need of humanitarian assistance. The situation is particularly dire for children who have lost or are at risk of losing parental care.

Mental Health

There is no health without mental health

October 10 2023 - When we are feeling depressed, we may not have the courage to talk to anyone about it – we keep it under the hat, and make sure that no one knows that we are going to see a mental health practitioner and should we be given meds, we are likely to hide them from others.
