Psychosocial Support Restores Hope for Women in Lebanon
Some women struggle with mental health issues due to loneliness, violence, and cultural isolation. Luckily, the MECC Service and Relief – Diakonia Department, Beirut’s Office, was able to inspire positive change, with the help of international partners. As such, Psychosocial sessions were given to these women as an attempt to mend wounds. They were divided into two categories: those that can attend art technique sessions, and those that need greater mental health intervention.
Casual Psychosocial art technique sessions allowed the women to vent out their frustration by transforming negative emotions into something productive. It also allowed them to build resilience and cope with their current situation.
Thanks to our partners, we were able to once again put a smile on their weary faces!
