|  |  | | IDRAAC implemented a project funded by the European Union entitled "School Program for Building Resilience and Coping". 1353 students have benefited from the program whose aim was to teach them skills to help them face stressful situations and the pressures of daily life. The sessions were included within the curricula of 17 schools, both public and private, under the supervision of 44 teachers who were trained for that purpose. "BE STRONG" was adopted as the slogan for this program which is not about physical strength but reflects an inner attitude: being strong to adapt and cope with different types of stress and in the face of difficult situations. |

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.
