Utilizing a carefully designed scientific approach in the field of mental health and under the guidance of specialized experts, the center aims to empower individuals to readjust to life, improve their job performance, and alleviate the psychological symptoms stemming from experiences of torture, war, forced displacement, enforced disappearances, and other violations.
About the Center
We aim to offer specialized psychological services via group sessions for our target audience. In these sessions, we create a secure environment where participants can openly discuss their struggles, difficulties, and traumas incurred during the conflict. Our approach is designed to help individuals enhance their coping skills, alleviate post-traumatic symptoms, build their capacities, and improve their vocational performance, which includes addressing issues like depression and anxiety.
The center welcomes all Syrians, both men and women, who are 18 years of age or older and are experiencing specific psychological symptoms and diminished functionality due to war, forced relocation, enforced disappearances, torture, imprisonment, or any other violations of human rights.

Summary of Our Services
Individual and Group Psychological Support: The center offers a series of ten individual or group therapy sessions. These are carefully planned based on proven scientific methods to treat psychological trauma. These sessions provide a safe space for individuals and families to discuss issues arising from the impacts of torture and wartime trauma.
Interactive Workshops: For those less severely affected, the center conducts interactive workshops that focus on psychological coping strategies. These sessions are designed to deal with the emotional trauma stemming from the brutalities of war and torture. They aim to promote self-healing by equipping participants (both males and females) with psycho-physical and social tools to manage the mental stresses associated with such traumas.
Inter-Organizational Coordination: The center collaborates with other organizations offering psychological, social, health, legal, and educational services. This multi-disciplinary approach aims to improve the quality of life for survivors of torture and for refugees, be they individuals or families.
Community Awareness: We work to elevate community consciousness regarding the mental and physical health repercussions of torture and war trauma. This is done through informational sessions that aim to educate individuals, families, and local communities about the impacts of such experiences.
