Wars leave deep psychological scars on children — the most vulnerable victims who suffer silently from violence and loss of safety. To address this, many international and local initiatives have emerged to support children emotionally during war, aiming to restore hope and emotional security.
Key Psychological Initiatives to Support Children:
1. Child-Friendly Spaces
Provided by organizations like UNICEF — safe areas where children engage in recreational and educational activities to overcome trauma.
2. Online Mental Health Support
Digital platforms offering remote psychological counseling for children and their families in conflict zones.
3. Art Therapy Programs
Initiatives that use art and drawing as tools for children to express emotions and relieve anxiety.
4. Crisis Response Training
Training programs for parents and teachers on how to support children through psychological crises.
5. Group Play Initiatives
Group recreational activities that promote teamwork and reduce feelings of isolation and fear.
