The ongoing and worsening barriers to accessing health services, the situation on the ground with starvation, displacement, diseases, and the war unfolding in Gaza probably make this the worst conflict-related humanitarian catastrophe with which I&#8217;ve had any professional contact\u00ab, says Eoin O&#8217;Shea who has worked as a psychologist for the Irish Red Cross focusing on Syrian refugees and worked with those affected by the violence in Northern Ireland.<\/p><p>The statistics from Gaza prior to October 7 indicate a significant need for psychosocial support. More than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/documents\/state-palestine-humanitarian-situation-report-no-1-recent-escalation-12-october-2023\">816,000 children were identified in need of mental health and psychosocial support<\/a> in the Gaza Strip. 70 percent of children experience nightmares, <a href=\"https:\/\/resourcecentre.savethechildren.net\/pdf\/gaza_blockade_mental_health_palestinian_children_2022.pdf\/\">says a report from Save the Children.<\/a> And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ochaopt.org\/content\/deterioration-mental-health-situation-gaza-strip\">in 2020 there was an increase in suicides, especially among young people<\/a> in the Gaza Strip.<\/p><h6><em>The situation is extreme in Gaza right now. What psychosocial interventions can be implemented in such a critical situation?<\/em><\/h6><p>\u00bbWe know that, therapeutically speaking, it&#8217;s more difficult \u2013 and often not fully successful \u2013 when treating PTSD in situations where there are a number of what we call \u2018concurrent stressors\u2019. The bombardments, the shooting of civilians, and mass displacement itself \u2013 which can be very traumatic \u2013 have obviously drastically increased the level of trauma exposure since October 7th\u00ab.<\/p><p>\u00bbBut it is also important to acknowledge that we don&#8217;t have to wait until the end of the war to provide psychosocial support to civilians in Gaza. One type of mental health intervention which can, and should, be delivered during a crisis is something referred to as \u2018Psychological First Aid\u2019 \u2013 or simply, \u2018PFA\u2019. In the case of Gaza, training staff and volunteers in PFA involves teaching them some basic skills to approach and engage with others in distress, offering supportive listening and practical assistance to help calm individuals down and provide an initial sense of hope and support\u00ab.<\/p><p>Another useful approach comes from WHO, who have developed a group-based training called &#8216;Self-Help Plus&#8217; (SH+). The written and audio materials used in SH+ can be accessed in several languages, including Arabic. Those who attend the SH+ course \u2013 which includes five weekly sessions \u2013 are taught skills that can help them to manage stress and maintain their mental wellbeing more effectively. and is WHO&#8217;s 5-session stress management course.<\/p><p>\u00bbWithout a mental health background, after a short period of training\u2014typically 5 days in the case of Self-Help Plus\u2014you can deliver the intervention to groups of up to 30 beneficiaries. So, if you can train a team of, for example, 10 Self-Help Plus facilitators over a 5-day period within a number of weeks, you could have that intervention delivered to around 150 people over the 5-week period of a full course. This could either be used on its own \u2013 or as one part of a number of psychological supports. Also be done in Gaza\u00ab.<\/p><p>Eoin O&#8217;Shea expects the mental health situation in Gaza to remain at a devastating level once the war is over:<\/p><p>\u00bbAs a psychologist, I have never witnessed anything like what we see happening in Gaza right now. This will further add to inter-generational, collective and historical expressions of trauma for the Palestinian population in Gaza that will last for many years. There is nowhere to flee. No prospect of peace in the future. No basic things available like medicine, food, clean water \u2013 all of which affect mental health very much. When that is said there is a urgent need for immediate psychosocial support and the implementation of a comprehensive, long-term mental health reconstruction plan for Gaza, encompassing both physical and psychological rehabilitation in the aftermath of this conflict\u00ab.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2d9767 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b2d9767\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a74ef3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2a74ef3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0074855 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0074855\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f34dbdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f34dbdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/dignity.dk\/app\/uploads\/Eoin_Psychologist-1024x819.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-69038\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dignity.dk\/app\/uploads\/Eoin_Psychologist-1024x819.webp 1024w, https:\/\/dignity.dk\/app\/uploads\/Eoin_Psychologist-300x240.webp 300w, https:\/\/dignity.dk\/app\/uploads\/Eoin_Psychologist-768x614.webp 768w, https:\/\/dignity.dk\/app\/uploads\/Eoin_Psychologist-1536x1229.webp 1536w, https:\/\/dignity.dk\/app\/uploads\/Eoin_Psychologist-2048x1638.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-328c918 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"328c918\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06227b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"06227b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"article-byline-author__data__description--name\"><strong>Eoin O&#8217;Shea. <\/strong>Psychologist<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Area: <\/strong>Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"mailto:eoos@dignity.dk\">eoos@dignity.dk\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-984e3ae e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"984e3ae\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4eb553 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f4eb553\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #9d2235;\"><span>FACT<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>DIGNITY works with our local NGO partner, \u2018Trauma and Recovery Center for Victims of Torture\u2019 (TRC) who deliver their services in the West Bank.
