POD Launches Intensive Art-Based Psychosocial Support Sessions in Deir Al-Balah
The Palestinian Organization for Development (POD) launched the first intensive psychosocial support session in Deir Al-Balah under the supervision of a specialized psychologist.
The session marked the beginning of a structured support process that uses art as a practical method for emotional expression. Participants were encouraged to communicate feelings and experiences that may be difficult to express verbally through guided creative activities.
The session provided a safe and supportive environment where participants could release psychological pressure, reflect on their emotions, and engage with others under professional supervision.
The upcoming sessions will continue to use appropriate psychological and artistic methods to support emotional expression, strengthen coping skills, and promote psychosocial well-being.
Through this intervention, POD contributes to expanding access to specialized psychosocial support and providing participants with a structured space for expression, connection, and recovery.
What was achieved?
- The first session provided participants with a professionally supervised and safe space for art-based emotional expression. It supported the release of psychological pressure and established the starting point for a structured psychosocial support journey.
