Our teams in Cairo have started carrying out community-based mental health activities, focusing on strengthening emotional support within communities through training and support groups. The initiative began in March with psychological first-aid training for personnel from government institutions and NGOs. In May, this was expanded to include leaders from various community-based organizations, equipping them with the necessary skills to provide immediate emotional support. In the same month, we set up psychoeducational groups for adult women, expectant mothers, and adolescents. Each group followed a structured four-session program covering emotional recognition, stress management, self-care, and community support.
In early 2024, we closed the clinic we had been running in the Maadi neighborhood of Cairo.
In Aswan governorate, in southern Egypt, we offered mental health support and basic health services for Sudanese refugees and the local community through mobile clinics in several villages and areas.
