Relief Efforts in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
We are working closely with community-based organizations to enhance and expand upon mental health support and trauma recovery resources. We particularly focus on meeting the needs of poor, vulnerable, marginalized and isolated people.
TRY Global works to improve the mental and physical well-being and resilience of low-income and marginalized communities by training Palestinians to teach Trauma Recovery Yoga and placing them in paid teaching positions. Our team is facilitating Psychological First Aid trainings for organization staff, aid workers and community leaders. And we're connecting Palestinians with volunteer psychologists online for one-on-on therapy sessions.
