I am taking part, with the inspiring group, Cycling4Gaza, at the end of July, to cycle 90 kms/day in 3 days in Holland to raise money for child mental health in Gaza. The money will go to the Pediatric Mental Health Project (through the Palestine Children's Relief Fund) in Gaza, which has been set up to assess children's needs, develop and provide mental health services and train professionals. This project aims to transform the provision of mental health care in Gaza, where children have had to live through traumatic events with no or very little mental health services available.
Please please give what you can. Thank you.
The PCRF is a non-profit organization that predominantly provides medical relief for children under Israeli military occupation. It is the main organization in the region that sends injured children abroad for free medical care and brings in expert volunteer surgery teams to provide medical care and training for local medical personnel. Over 1,000 children have been sent to the US for free medical care and over 10,000 children have received local medical care from visiting surgery teams.
The 2014 war on Gaza left thousands of children injured not only physically but also psychologically. Today, approximately 373,000 children in Gaza suffer from emotional and psychological trauma and are in dire need of mental care support and reintegration into society.
The objective of the Gaza Mental Health Project is to assess children’s needs, provide them the service they require and to train social workers on administering screening questionnaires. Over 1,300 children have been screened by 5 field workers to date and their subsequent programs are currently being developed.
