Mental Health & Psychological Support

Healing hearts. Holding space. Listening deeply.

Note: This page outlines the mental health and psychological support services that D4P is currently providing or actively working to expand. In a place like Gaza, where needs are overwhelming and resources limited, we’re building this program step by step — with the help of local professionals, international allies, and your support.

In Gaza, the psychological toll of war, displacement, and daily survival runs deep — and support is often out of reach.
At D4P, we offer practical, compassionate mental health care that meets people where they are. Most of our support happens remotely — by phone, message, or voice note — and when conditions allow, we arrange in-person sessions too. It’s not perfect, but it’s real, and it’s helping people hold on.

🧩 What We Offer

🧑‍⚕️ One-on-One Counseling (Remote & Hybrid)

Trauma-informed, confidential sessions with mental health professionals
Delivered via WhatsApp, phone, or Zoom — and in-person where safe
Focus on grief, anxiety, trauma, depression, and war-related stress

🪴 Psychoeducation & Emotional First Aid

Educational guides and audio/video sessions in Arabic
Support for managing stress, grief, emotional fatigue
Tailored for parents, youth, teachers, and aid workers

🌐 How It Works

Remote-first: Most support is delivered via WhatsApp or Zoom
Local & global: Palestinian psychologists + international specialists
No barriers: Free, fast, confidential — no paperwork, no judgment
Hybrid when possible: In-person care offered where security allows

📈 Impact So Far

✅ Over 420 individuals supported through one-on-one care

💬 Why It Matters

Mental health support in Gaza is scarce and often stigmatized.
At D4P, we believe care must be both compassionate and accessible.
We’re creating a quiet, trusted bridge…a place where people can speak, be heard, and begin to heal.
