Learn how you can help by joining our online fundraiser for a discussion on the psychosocial impact of the war on the Palestinian people by a panel of Palestinian mental health experts and human rights defenders. The Community Center for Training and Development (CCTD) in Bethlehem plans to expand its mental health services to meet the growing demand for psychosocial support in the region. Our targeted population includes children and youth, women, and political prisoners. CCTD started as an initiative launched by a group of women, young activists, and social workers striving towards building a just society that promotes gender equality and the empowerment of youth and children. Currently, we are raising funds to support our psychosocial/advocacy project. This project will work with youth and their families who live in the Old City of Hebron through capacity building, advocacy training, mentoring, psychosocial support, and a youth-led summer camp that will include therapeutic recreational activities. Our expanded services and programs consider the political nature of human suffering and incorporate interventions to increase their protection, enhance their dignity, and optimize their well-being by incorporating resiliency-based and trauma-informed approaches.
