Surviving armed conflicts and/or violence doesn’t always mean being free from its effects. The more intense the violence, the greater the need for mental health and psychosocial support. Mental health care is not a luxury; it is an essential part of healing.

Some wounds don’t fade, they’re inherited. 💔 Unspoken pain passes from one generation to the next, until someone chooses to break the silence. Start your healing journey today. Let’s change what we pass on. #TalkingHeals #MentalHealth #WorldMentalHealthDay
