The global refugee crisis is a mental health catastrophe, |
|
leaving millions in need of psychological support to |
|
overcome the traumas of dislocation and conflict. To undo |
|
the damage, child psychiatrist and TED Fellow Essam Daod |
|
has been working in camps, rescue boats and the |
|
shorelines of Greece and the Mediterranean Sea to help |
|
refugees (a quarter of which are children) reframe their |
|
experiences through short, powerful psychological |
|
interventions. "We can all do something to prevent this |
|
mental health catastrophe," Daod says. "We need to |
|
acknowledge that first aid is not just needed for the |
|
body, but it has also to include the mind, the soul." |
