Movement can be a powerful tool for mental health. Whether it's supporting veterans with adaptive sports in #Ukraine, creating opportunities for play in #Gaza, or supporting a summer camp in #Poland, @projecthopeorg is finding holistic approaches to addressing mental health needs

For many children displaced from their homes, adjusting to change comes with fear, stress, and uncertainty.

In Poland’s Małopolska region, Project HOPE’s mobile mental health teams are bringing mental health support and social activities directly to these refugee communities, helping Ukrainian children navigate life in their new environment.

During a summer camp, Ukrainian children participated in swimming, badminton, games, and other recreational activities designed to support their well-being through movement and play. As Project HOPE’s mental health and psychosocial support specialist Marta Stoian explains, "for children, who may not always have the language to explain what they are feeling, movement and play can provide another pathway for expression, regulation, and connection.”

Mental health doesn’t only happen through conversation. Make space for your mental health today and #DoOneThing that feels like play.

It was such an honor to speak with @dr_bandak on The Scholars Table podcast. We covered everything from my unlikely shift from engineering into humanitarian work, @projecthopeorg's mission & legacy, career advice, and my favorite Lebanese dish!

He trained as an engineer and built a business in Sierra Leone.

Then he left it to work in humanitarian response.

My latest guest on The Scholars Table is the CEO of Project HOPE.

He grew up during Lebanon’s civil war and has spent more than two decades responding to crises around the world.

Rabih reflects on the experiences of health workers in Ukraine, Gaza and Lebanon.

He explains why local medical teams are central to Project HOPE’s work and what it takes to make difficult decisions before all the information is available.

We also spend time on career advice.

This episode is for students, health professionals and anyone considering work in global health or humanitarian response.
