Mental Health

The severe emotional trauma which many refugees have endured is often overlooked and its fallout is ignored. The Alalusi Foundation is bringing attention and training to this underserved aspect of refugee healthcare.

PTSD diagnosis and treatment training for physicians and caregivers was lead by Dr. Saad Shakir, who has been to Amman multiple times to support those in-country mental health practitioners.

Art as Therapy

The Art Initiative has donated supplies and paper to be sent to the Middle East, Africa, and Central America with Entheos volunteers

We recently purchase 15 painting to support artists between the ages of 9 and 18 in the Za’atari camp in Jordan. By providing training and helping to sell artwork and photography online, we will help provide a career opportunity for those who may have limited options.
