Mental Health Support for Refugee Children in Jordan

 

Watch our interview with Bill Forbes, head of Child Protection at World Vision International. Learn how you have helped children in a Syrian refugee camp regulate their emotions, build coping skills, and improve relationships with peers and family. Bill Forbes breaks down the results from a recent study of First Aid Arts' program impact on 88 children.

 
 
 
 
The results...showed that they were developing skills that would help them become more resilient going forward. These kids still live in a refugee camp. Their future is uncertain. Challenges are going to continue to come. And so these resiliency skills are very important as we look ahead.

Increasing Access and Training in Northern Uganda

 

Our trained partner Philip Kakungulu is serving refugees in a 150,000 person camp in Uganda. There are no mental health service providers besides Philip and the 25 community leaders he has trained in First Aid Arts' impactful resources. As you will hear from Philip:

“We request First Aid Arts to help us scale our intervention here in the refugee camps to reach more people because this is what Africa needs. This is what exactly works for mental and emotional health and so we request support to scale this up to reach all the zones in the community where the need is dire.”

 
 
 
 

We are designed to provide quality, scalable mental health resources to the most in need and least served. Help us help people like Philip! Give now!

 
 
“This is what Africa needs.
