Doust 'Friend' - Help a refugee woman access mental health support
The Azadi Project
Goal $20,000
YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS!
The pandemic has exacerbated the mental health crisis. It's been worse for displaced people!
This International Women's Day,
The Azadi Project launched a groundbreaking project -
providing psychosocial support to women refugees living in the Moria 2.0 camp on Lesbos Island in Greece.
Pioneering a unique model, the proposed project is the first of its kind to integrate in-person/group, online/individual, and local counseling resources into a seamless process to meet the psychosocial support needs of refugee women.
The project called ‘Doust’ - meaning a friend in Farsi - has three components.
Group sessions: Weekly, women will gather to share their experiences in a safe space and welcoming atmosphere outside the camp. Online therapy: Those who need individual attention will use video communication to speak privately with counselors located abroad. Local appointments: in urgent cases, women will be referred to local mental health practitioners.
