How can just three sessions create profound change in the lives of our students?
With your inspiring support, the Masar Student Activities team organized three comprehensive sessions titled "Psychological First Aid." These sessions served as a guiding light, teaching students how to extend a helping hand to those struggling in their darkest moments. They became a platform to foster deeper humanity and ignite hope in everyone’s hearts.
Each session was a bright window opening onto a more compassionate world, where participants transformed from mere witnesses to crises into active partners in alleviating them.
"Am I capable of being the first point of safety for someone in distress?" This question turned into certainty for the students, as they realized that anyone can be a savior with the right tools. They understood that a kind word and sincere listening could save a life drowning in the darkness of its crisis.
Through practical exercises, students learned how attentive listening could open the doors of locked hearts. They discovered how eyes that see with love and ears that listen with understanding could lighten the heavy emotional burdens of others.
The students also worked with real-life stories highlighting the struggles of children facing psychological crises. They learned how to become a true support for these young ones searching for a safe hand to guide them out of the darkness of fear. This part of the sessions deeply touched the students, making them realize the importance of being the first line of defense.
Inspiring stories were shared about people whose lives were completely transformed thanks to psychological support sessions. Students came to understand that significant change begins with a small step and that these activities are not just a solution but a beacon of hope.
By analyzing real cases, students confronted challenging scenarios, learning the importance of being prepared to handle psychological challenges. They gained confidence in their ability to effectively manage crises while committing to respecting others’ privacy and treating them with dignity and humanity to instill reassurance.
At the end of the sessions, students practiced techniques to calm themselves, ensuring they remain strong and balanced while helping others.
The participants didn’t just change—they became a source of light and positivity for their families and communities. One student shared,
"I used to think psychological crises meant I was powerless to help, but now I realize I can be the reason someone’s life changes forever."
A question for you, the creator of impact:
