Dan for Relief and Development Foundation continues to implement the “Be There” program sessions in the Foundation’s safe space at Washokani Camp, west of Al-Hasakah. As of mid-August, the sessions have reached 205 participants, including 43 men and 162 women

The program focuses on helping caregivers cope with daily stress, particularly amid challenging circumstances that may affect their ability to provide effective care and parenting to children.
The program aims to achieve several key objectives, including:
Reducing daily stress through relaxation and stress-management techniques, such as mindfulness and breathing exercises.
Strengthening social support networks and supportive relationships.
Improving the ability to cope with difficult emotions, including frustration and anger.
Reducing parenting-related stress and promoting the use of positive parenting approaches.
Reducing the use of harsh parenting practices and fostering a safer and more supportive family environment for children.

The program aims to support parents and caregivers of children by helping them reduce stress, improve their psychosocial well-being, and strengthen their positive parenting skills.
Through the “Be There” program, we work to promote family well-being and support caregivers in building more positive and safe relationships with their children.
