Pre-Conference Day 2: Psychosocial education for community workers working with refugees from Gaza

18th October 2024, Pre-Conference Day 2: (Psychosocial education for community workers working with refugees from Gaza) at Lebanese Muslim Association (LMA).  This pre-conference workshop is designed to equip community and health workers with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care to recently arrived refugees forcibly displaced from Gaza. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by this population, including the psychological impact of prolonged conflict, displacement, and the loss of loved ones.

The workshop will emphasise the importance of adopting a holistic approach that integrates both psychological and socio-cultural dimensions of care. Through a combination of theoretical insights, practical strategies, and case studies, attendees will learn how to build trust, promote resilience, and support the long-term integration of Palestinian refugees into their new communities.
