On July 24, 2024, a workshop titled "Psychological Resilience in Challenging Times" was held as part of the EMPOWERHER project. Ten Syrian participants attended the workshop, where they discussed the fundamental components of psychological resilience and how to strengthen it in daily life.

Social Services Specialist Handan Tekerli, who facilitated the workshop, emphasized the importance of self-care for psychological resilience, how individuals can build this resilience, stress management, and positive thinking. She also shared information on how to develop flexible thinking skills and how daily habits can strengthen psychological resilience.

Participants exchanged ideas on how they could apply the knowledge they gained in the workshop to their daily lives. This discussion on the positive effects of psychological resilience on personal well-being created deep thoughts and new perspectives among the participants. The event provided an inspiring environment for participants to strengthen their psychological health and cope with challenges more effectively.

This program was implemented within the framework of the EmpowerHER project with the financial support of AAR JAPAN and JAPAN PLATFORM.
