11)How is therapy organised?
The article by L.Tondo taken from The Guardian, 3rd October 2018, talks about Moria refugee camp in Lesbos, Greece.
9.000 asylum seekers live there, but it's a centre designed to keep one third of that number; so their living conditions are really bad. Furthermore migrants who arrive in Moria, coming from war-torn countries like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, are already traumatized and the conditions in the camp have increased their traum. In fact, they live in groups of 30 people, crammed into tents or metal containers, and there is rubbish scattered everywhere.
There live also 3.000 children, who have serious psychological problems; in fact, most of them attempt suicide and they hurt themselves. Those minors are also targeted in the sexual violence.
The trauma for them is so strong, so it's not easy for the parents living in Moria to come to terms with the psychological damage of their children, and in a short time they begin to suffer the same depression as their children.
So, the MSF, a particular clinic that's located just outside Moria, organised a therapy session to help those children who have attempted suicide or had depression problems. One phase of the therapy involved a storytelling activity in wich kids tried to create a story with drawings and words. So, their drawings talk about war, shipwrecks and bloody scenes.
The only moments of normalcy Moria's children get come at a small play area 200m from the Camp: here they can feel at ease with the world and not a abandon themselves. M.Salomome 3H
