 IDRAAC and the Lebanon Wars
In solidarity with our community which has been deeply affected by the recent war events that started in July 2006, the Department of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology at the St. George Hospital University Medical Center/Balamand University, Faculty of Medicine in association with IDRAAC has concentrated its efforts to help out on several fronts by offering free mental health consultations to individuals affected by these events and offering expert opinion through media. At the request of the government, the Department and IDRAAC have prepared a proposal for a National Mental Health Action Plan. For more information about our research and work related to war, please visit the War and Mental Health and the Community activities sections. |
