For children affected by war and displacement, the emotional wounds can run deep. That’s why we prioritize psychosocial support as a key part of recovery—offering children safe spaces, emotional guidance, and structured activities to help them process trauma and reconnect with a sense of normalcy.
What recovery looks like when children feel safe again
Adnan, an 8-year-old boy, was displaced with his family—two sisters and two brothers—after their home in Kafr Yahmoul was shelled five years ago. The recent earthquake added to his trauma, leaving him in a constant state of fear.
Everything began to change when Adnan enrolled in the camp school established by Child Guardians. There, he participated in social-emotional learning sessions designed to help children cope with stress and build resilience.
Since then, Adnan has made remarkable progress. He has overcome many of his fears—and, perhaps most importantly, formed new friendships with his peers.
The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words. Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. The European languages are members of the same family.
More Resilient Children
Psychosocial support is more than emotional care—it’s the foundation for healing and rebuilding a child’s confidence, safety, and future. Children like Adnan remind us that, with the right support, recovery is possible.
