| Abstract | ||||
| The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health has launched a National Mental Health Programmer, which in turn has established the Mental Health and Substance Use Strategy for Lebanon 2015–2020. In parallel, research involving refugees has been conducted since the onset of the Syrian crisis. The findings point to an increase in mental health disorders in the Syrian refugee population, which now numbers more than 1 million. Following the conflicts taking place in the Syrian Arab Republic since 2011, the affected population, whether displaced or not, is in need of psychosocial support interventions that take into consideration the contextual specificities. This chapter gives an overview of the wounds that the Syrian community is suffering from, as identified and analysed by 21 of the master’s students (18 of which are Syrian and 4 are Lebanese), who took part in the two editions of the Psychosocial Support and Dialogue Professional Executive Master’s course that the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Lebanese University organized in 2014 and 2015 in Beirut. The papers describe as well the bridges that the students were aspiring to rebuild or strengthen throughout their studies or interventions based on the main psychosocial and dialogue concepts and approaches that they acquired during the master’s course. | ||||
