We aim to support students in Northern Syria who have been affected by armed conflict, poverty, early marriage, and forced displacement. Through this campaign, we seek to assist 100 students facing psychological and social challenges following the tragic events they have experienced, enabling them to overcome these obstacles and build a brighter future.
Mental Health and Social Challenges Resulting from Conflict
The psychological and social damage caused by the ongoing conflict in Syria, now lasting over 13 years, cannot be precisely measured. The armed conflict has deeply impacted the psychological and social fabric of the community. Children and young people are the most affected, having grown up in harsh environments where survival is a daily struggle, an unnatural situation by any means. These children and youth suffer from the effects of poverty, forced displacement, and early marriage, leading to significant difficulties in interacting with their surroundings and building a stable future.
Providing mental support to youth in conflict-affected areas
With a dedicated mental health support team handling advanced cases, we provide counseling and behavioral sessions to help students cope with the effects of conflict and societal pressures. This support includes individual and group therapy, as well as workshops focused on enhancing their mental health. As part of the program, we coordinate with various local entities to ensure comprehensive support. All of this is facilitated through our student affairs team to ensure an open and safe environment for the students.
How support contributes to creating a positive and sustainable impact in students’ lives
By providing support and tools for change, we empower these students to overcome the psychological and social challenges they face, enabling them to actively participate in society and build a better future. We aspire for these students to become positive role models in their communities, spreading hope and confidence among their peers and contributing to rebuilding efforts. We offer them the opportunity to see a positive and lasting impact on their lives, with each step towards healing contributing to a more stable and brighter future for these young individuals.
