Awareness Raising

Increasing awareness of mental illness increases knowledge of mental illness. And with more knowledge, there is less stigma. An essential part of the organization’s work includes raising awareness, among the Palestinian community, about psychological trauma and trauma-related symptoms in particular, and mental health disorders in general. This is achieved by organizing and conducting workshops, seminars, and scientific lectures, in addition to the creation and distribution of informational leaflets. Raising awareness helps in the early detection of psychological symptoms, facilitates early intervention, and promotes non-violence.
