Afghan Children in Need of Psychosocial Support
Afghanistan has witnessed significant political and social upheaval in recent years, and the resurgence of the Taliban has left many children in a dire situation. The abrupt changes in governance, fear, instability, displacement, restrictions on women, educational barriers and insecurity have taken a toll on their mental and emotional health. Children are grappling with anxiety, trauma, and uncertainty about their futures.
In the midst of Afghanistan's ongoing challenges, the mental and emotional well-being of Afghan children has taken centre stage. And the empowerment of their psychosocial abilities has become and urgent need to provide support to these young minds in crisis.
Psychosocial Support for Afghan Children
The Kophen Association, deeply committed to the well-being of Afghan children, is launching a series of psychosocial live sessions on social media platforms. These sessions aim to provide essential emotional support and foster resilience among Afghan children who are facing unprecedented challenges under the rule of the Taliban. In these uncertain times, it is imperative to prioritize the mental health and well-being of the youngest members of Afghanistan's society.
The Role of Psychosocial Live Sessions: The Kophen Association recognises the need to create a safe and nurturing space where Afghan children can express their feelings, share their stories, and receive guidance from trained mental health professionals. The psychosocial live sessions will serve as a platform for:
Emotional Support: Trained psychologists and counselors will engage with children, offering them a chance to voice their fears, anxieties, and hopes. This emotional support will help them cope with the stressors in their lives.
Resilience Building: Through interactive activities, storytelling, and art therapy, children will be encouraged to develop resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving skills.
Education and Awareness: These sessions will also include educational segments on topics such as mental health, self-care, and coping strategies. Promoting awareness about mental health is crucial to reducing stigma and ensuring children seek help when needed.
Why Live Sessions on Social Media? Live sessions on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are accessible to a wide audience, including children with limited resources and those living in remote areas. They provide real-time interaction, fostering a sense of community and connection.
