The Role of Salam Organization in ‘Adaptation and Psychological Strength in Al-Hol Camp
The “Survival Methods” program is an important initiative aimed at teaching children techniques to help them overcome the traumas resulting from wars and build their adaptive abilities. The program consists of several sessions tailored for both children and caregivers
The sessions provide an opportunity for children and caregivers to maximize the benefits of the program and learn essential techniques. This is a valuable chance for children and caregivers to learn and develop new skills, contributing to the enhancement of their psychological and social capacities. By empowering children and assisting them in adapting to challenges, the program can contribute to building a better future for these children and their communities
To achieve this goal, Salam Organization has conducted 7 sessions under various titles (Coping 1, Coping 2, Excitement, Behavioral Avoidance, Cognitive Avoidance), five directed towards children and two for caregivers, spanning five weeks on an urgent basis
The children’s sessions include innovative and engaging activities aimed at promoting their psychological and social skills. Children learn how to cope with stress, negative emotions, and manage difficulties they encounter in their daily lives. The sessions involve cooperative games, artistic activities, and role-playing to enhance social interaction and collaboration among them
The caregiver sessions aim to equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to support children in adapting and overcoming war traumas. Caregivers learn how to deal with pressure and stress, provide emotional and psychological support to children, and employ relaxation techniques. The sessions include calming strategies and teaching relaxation techniques for children, creating an encouraging and safe environment for them
The program seeks to enhance children’s skills in dealing with the psychological and emotional challenges arising from wars and traumas. These skills may include emotional regulation, coping with anxiety and fear, boosting self-confidence, and promoting positive mental health. The program also aims to teach children effective communication methods and the building of healthy social relationships
