Our Gaza program is one of the most remarkable population-wide healing programs in the world, effectively helping a people beleaguered by war and internal conflict, an embargo, malnutrition, and unemployment levels of 60% or more to release their distress, and experience their own capacity to help themselves and transform their lives.
Under the guidance of Jamil Atti, MA, Gaza Country Director, Center-trained clinicians and educators—who work in virtually all of Gaza’s major health and mental health programs, many grass-roots organizations, and international aid organizations—are continually offering mind-body skills groups to men, women and children.
- 420 Gaza professionals have been trained in mind-body medicine.
- A Leadership Team of 17 clinicians has been developed.
- 10,000 children & adults are served weekly in 10-week cycles of mind-body skills groups, offering. much needed support in the ongoing trauma of life in the Gaza Strip.
- 45,000 Gaza children and adults have been served since the program’s inception in 2005.
- The Center provides ongoing clinical supervision, program development and financial support.
