I have registered, along with 50 other cyclists from around the world, to cycle from Avila city to Madrid. I need your support to help me raise funds to help the children of Gaza as an initiative carried out by the Palestine's Children Relief Fund (PCRF). The fund is aimed at supporting children who suffer from emotional and psychological trauma that are in dire need of mental care support and reintegration into society.
"We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone." Ronald Reagan
The Projects Aims are as follows:
– To provide free medication to patients who are in need of support
– To hire eight professional psychologists and psychiatrists to provide mental health counseling for children for the duration of one year
– To provide weekly and monthly group counseling for 200 high risk children and 80 mothers to teach them mental health coping skills
– To Support three summer camps in Gaza where counselors run intensive counseling for 200 high risk children to teach them coping skills for dealing with PTSD
The 2014 war on Gaza left thousands of children injured not only physically but also psychologically. Today, approximately 373,000 children in Gaza suffer from emotional and psychological trauma and are in dire need of mental care support and reintegration into society.
The objective of the Gaza Mental Health Project is to assess children’s needs, provide them the service they require and to train social workers on administering screening questionnaires. Over 1,300 children have been screened by 5 field workers to date and their subsequent programs are currently being developed.
