"Large aid groups have tried to provide psychosocial support, but the scale of the crisis, its vast and diverse demands, and sharp EU funding cuts in 2017 mean that most refugees rarely see a doctor, much less a therapist, sabotaging hopes for a stable, better life...Refugee Trauma Initiative (RTI) has provided psychological first aid to refugees stranded at five camps and four community centres in Greece, using group-based sessions to foster community and resilience. Working in refugees’ native languages, RTI’s team of mostly Middle Eastern women therapists runs groups for women, men, teens, expecting mothers, and small children; sessions include talk, movement, art, and mindfulness therapies."
