After her home was destroyed in an attack which resulted in the loss of a family member, 15-year-old Rim was trapped under the rubble of her house. The trauma of this experience caused her to be shy and withdrawn, refusing to participate in programs.
Eventually, with the encouragement of others, Rim joined a therapeutic session run by READ Foundation. Here she was able to talk about her experiences in a safe and nurturing environment, helping Rim to release her emotions and understand her trauma.
“I no longer fear my memories, I deal with them,” she says.
