The Gaza Emotional and Mental Support (GEMS) initiative is a beacon of hope for the children of Gaza. The ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip has left an indelible mark on the lives of these children. The loss, displacement, and disruption caused by conflict can lead to prolonged psychological damage.
The GEMS initiative recognizes that addressing their mental health needs is crucial for their present and future well-being. This collaborative effort by a group of Egyptian mental healthcare providers aims to help with the critical mental health issues of the young survivors and their families who managed to flee to Egypt. We provide group and individual initial assessments, counselling sessions and follow-up reporting system to keep track of cases’ progress. Parents and caregivers are also equipped with resources to help guide their children through the crisis.
