Syria
Years of conflict, civil war, loss of life, and displacement in Syria have severely impacted and undermined local health care systems and the mental well-being of communities. As Syrian society struggles to recover, widespread trauma, prolonged stress, economic hardship and uncertainty, and disrupted access to healthcare have contributed to increased mental health needs, while damaged infrastructure and workforce shortages continue to limit the availability of essential public health and mental health services.
Solidarity Coalition addresses these challenges through community-based mental health treatment and psycho-social support, capacity building and strengthening of local health care providers, and public health education.
Working in close partnership with local service NGOs partners and providers to help strengthen the local health care service system, our approach emphasizes acute and long-term treatment, as well as prevention, early intervention, and individual and communal resilience-building, to improve access to care, promote mental well-being, and support sustainable public health responses, rooted in community needs and cultural context.
