Provide Tele-Psychosocial Support
- P Project/Program
? Activity Status: Unknown
Key Information
Added to the fear of contracting the virus, girls and young women are dealing with new realities that are negatively impacting on their mental health and well-being. The growing risk of sexual and gender-based violence, school closure and a general lack of access to essentials such as food and sanitary towels is taking its toll. Your gift will enable us to continue providing psychosocial support to 283 girls and young women from across our programs through teletherapy and virtual group counseling sessions.
