The El Buss Family Guidance Centre, located 1.5 km south of the city of Tyre, provides specialised mental health services to children under the age of 18 and their carers living in Palestinian camps in the Tyre area. Services offered include counselling, treatment and follow-up in psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychomotor therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, assessment testing and social intervention.
In addition to clinical care, the Centre adopts a community-based approach in working with children and families, as well as with organisations, schools, kindergartens and the community so that they overcome their psychological problems in their environment to ensure the acceptance and social inclusion of people with mental health problems.
The aim of the intervention is to support the work of the centre by providing ongoing training and individual and group psychological sessions, as well as psycho-motor and non-formal education activities.
