Olive Branch Project
Hope is stronger than tanks...
Hope is stronger than tanks...
The Olive Branch Project is a project carried out and completed in cooperation with Muntada AID, AID IAlliance of International Doctors, and Orphan Foundation in order to alleviate the effects of the traumatic events experienced by Syrian children and women who had to immigrate to Istanbul due to the Syria war.
Through the Olive Branch Project, we aimed to establish “intervention” programs for kids and women who are the victims of war in order to lessen risk factors and strengthen supportive variables in their life.
The primary aim of these psychosocial support programs, in which children and women receive help individually or in groups, are to regain the lost sense of basic trust, to prevent the disruptive effects that may arise from post-traumatic stress reactions, and to help people regain their pre-trauma functionality levels

Zeytin Dalı Projesi
(Tamamlandı)
Zeytin Dalı Projesi Suriye savaşı nedeniyle İstanbul’a göç etmek zorunda kalmış Suriyeli çocuklar ve kadınların yaşadıkları travmatik olayların tesirini hafifletmek amacıyla Muntada AID, AID Uluslararası Doktorlar Derneği ve Yetim Vakfı işbirliği ile yürütülüp tamamlanmış olan projedir.
Zeytin Dalı Projesi ile savaş mağduru çocuk ve kadınlar için “müdahale” programları geliştirerek, bu kişilerin yaşamlarındaki risk faktörlerini azaltmayı ve destek faktörlerini artırmayı hedefledik. Çocuk ve kadınların bireysel olarak ya da gruplar halinde yardım gördükleri bu psikososyal destek programlarının öncelikli amacı, kaybedilen temel güven duygusunun yeniden kazanılması, travma sonrası stres tepkilerinden kaynaklanabilecek bozucu etkilerin önüne geçilmesi, kişilerin travmatik yaşantıdan önceki işlevsellik düzeylerine yeniden ulaşmalarının sağlanmasıdır. Ayrıca, ebeveyn ve öğretmenlerin travma mağduru çocuklara nasıl yaklaşacakları konusunda eğitilmeleri de projenin öncelikli hedefleri arasındadır.

- In addition to providing curative interventions to children who have witnessed war experiences and have developed post-traumatic stress reactions as a result, we have implemented programs that encourage the mental, emotional, and social development of kids. We aimed to encourage the development of Syrian children who were in their developmental period, which was interrupted due to traumatic experiences, with arts & skills, game workshops, and sports activities based on the theory of multiple intelligences.
- With these programs, where we organize psychological support programs, educational studies, art, and occupational workshops for women, we also sought to empower women spiritually, strengthen their parenting skills, and help women to obtain professional skills.

In order to develop a strong relationship with kids based on trust, Theraplay Play Therapy—a form of interactive and directed play therapy—is also used in individual and group treatment.
