California Mental Health Experts Bring PTSD Training To Jordan
For a group of mental health professionals in California, watching the Syrian refugee crisis unfold on television was not an option. ... A study from the World Health Organization says fewer than 100 psychiatrists live in Jordan. In the face of overwhelming need came a creative response from the Alalusi Foundation, a Hayward-based nonprofit focusing on refugee relief and humanitarian projects around the world. The foundation developed the Care Program for Refugees — or CPR — to train professionals who work with refugees to provide mental health care. (Roberts, 7/29)
