PsyLeb Unveils Article on the Mental Health Impact of War on Lebanon’s Children

PsyLeb is proud to announce the publication of its newest article, The Psychological Impact on Children of the Recent War in Lebanon: Trauma, Resilience, and the Path to Healing, authored by Clinical and Pathological Psychotherapist Mariane El Khoury. This compelling piece examines how the recent conflict in Lebanon has not only exposed children to severe trauma—manifesting as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and disruptive behavioral issues—but also revealed the remarkable resilience emerging from these young survivors.

In her article, Mariane El Khoury provides a nuanced exploration of the dual challenges faced by children: the direct psychological effects of witnessing violence and the additional burdens imposed by displacement and instability. She highlights the urgent need for tailored mental health interventions and robust community support to foster healing and recovery. “I have witnessed firsthand the transformation of trauma into resilience among these children. With compassionate care and psychotherapy, we can help them heal and rebuild their futures.” says Mariane El Khoury.

This new release calls on mental health professionals, policymakers, and community leaders to prioritize accessible, culturally sensitive care for Lebanon’s most vulnerable populations, ensuring that recovery pathways are both sustainable and effective.
