ACTIONS & EVENTS
Shut It Down for Palestine (November 9) International Call to Action
Sign up form for mental health and holistic healing practitioners to offer services (in Arabic or English) to trauma survivors in the West Bank and Gaza via the Seeds Program / Catharsis Holistic Healing.
*Urgent Appeal for Arabic-speaking psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists* “Dear all, My friend is a journalist working with community leaders in the Shu'fat refugee camp (Jerusalem), and they are in *desperate need of Arabic-speaking psychiatrists and therapists* to provide online interventions for the traumatized children there. These children have been witnessing what's happening in Gaza whilst also experiencing incursions and abductions by the IDF in their camp. The format of the work is still taking shape, and there's an understanding that the scope won't go beyond establishing psychological safety and symptom stabilization. Partners in this work are INARA.org, a non-profit for children that Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, the heroic Gaza surgeon, helped establish. Please *urgently* share this message with anyone you think can help. They can message me via Whatsapp (+447540076350) or at abdo@kamaledeen.com, and I will put them in touch. Thank you.”
