More children than ever before are living in conflict zones.
Fighting, violence, destruction of homes and communities, as well as loss of family, and schools can affect children’s physical and mental well-being. Additional insecurities around money, food, warmth and shelter can cause stress, anxiety and abuse at home.
Without the right support, the psychological toll of conflict on children can be huge on children’s well-being and long-term development.
Every child, no matter where they live, deserves to live a safe, happy and healthy life.
Save the Children has been able to help children to better cope with their experiences through mental health, and psychosocial support, often delivered through our Child-Friendly Spaces.
