Restart Center

Visiting Restart, a key partner at the heart of the MHPSS emergency response as the crisis evolves. Our long-standing collaboration continues to deliver timely, targeted support to communities affected by conflict and displacement.

On this #InternationalWomensDay, I think of the displaced women of Lebanon—carrying children, fear, and invisible trauma as war forces them from their homes. Their resilience is immense, but resilience should never replace protection, dignity, and peace. #Lebanon #IDPs

النزوح يسرق الأمان لكنه لا يجب أن يسرق كرامة المرأة #اليوم_العالمي_للمرأة #الصحة_النفسية #الكرامة_حق

ومع ذلك تنهض كل يوم لتكون سنداً لعائلتها، وتحاول أن تبني الأمل وسط الألم. في هذا اليوم، لن نتذكر معاناة النساء النازحات فقط، بل مسؤوليتنا أيضاً في حماية صحتهن النفسية وكرامتهن وحقهن في الشفاء.

في اليوم العالمي للمرأة، نتذكّر #النساء_النازحات، نساء لم يفقدن بيوتهن فقط، بل فقدن الإحساس بالأمان والاستقرار. خلف كل امرأة نازحة قصة صدمة: خوف لا يفارقها، قلق على أطفالها ومستقبلهم، وشعور ثقيل بالفقدان والوحدة.

He also attended a psychosocial support session facilitated by Restart with Lebanese and Syrian women whose husbands, sons, or brothers were affected by irregular migration. The risks remain. Community-led prevention and care need continued support. @ukinlebanon

كرامة الإنسان غير قابلة للتفاوض وحقوقه ليست خيارًا بل التزامًا على كل دولة ومؤسسة ومجتمع #اليوم_العالمي_لحقوق_الإنسان #humanrightsday #humanrightsday2025

On the eve of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Holy Pope’s visit to the psychiatric hospital is a reminder that fostering disability-inclusive societies is the path to true social progress and human dignity for all. #Pape_liban

This #IDPD2025, Restart Center highlights the urgent need for rights-based care and independent monitoring in all closed institutions. Persons with disabilities must never be forgotten behind walls. Protection is a duty, not a choice. #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities

Pope Leo XIV’s visit reminds us that in our hardest moments, hope overcomes despair and unity overcomes division. May this blessing renew our faith and guide us toward compassion, peace, and the protection of human dignity. #البابا_في_لبنان

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, as the world highlights “Mental Health in Humanitarian Emergencies,” we in Lebanon still lack a national mental health law. Without legal protection, rights remain fragile & dignity uncertain. MH is not a privilege. It is a right. #WMHD2025 #HumanRights

At Restart Center, we are proud to stand at the forefront of Lebanon’s mental health, emergency response, and work in places of detention — ensuring that every person, even in crisis, is met with care, dignity, and hope. 💚 #WMHD2025 #MHPSS #HumanRights

World Mental Health Day reminds us that healing minds means rebuilding lives. #WMHD2025 #MHPSS #HumanRights

Irregular migration doesn't end with the journey, it leaves deep scars. Batool, a Syrian mother in Lebanon, is healing from the trauma of letting her sons cross the sea. With IOM and @RESTARTCENTER, she’s learning that healing begins with being heard. 👉bit.ly/3TQiDYE

What we need now is urgent investment: — in a regional roadmap ✅ — in trained personnel — in community-based care — in integrated mental health within primary healthcare and emergency systems…. #VoicesAgainstTorture #MENAForum2025

“Over 87% of communities in Syria lack access to any form of mental health or psychosocial support. This is not just a humanitarian gap, it’s a public duty we’re failing.” remarked Dr. Nabil Samarji from WHO Syria #VoicesAgainstTorture #MENAForum2025

"In Syria, I once asked a patient for informed consent," said Dr. Mohammad El Sherif, from LDHR Syria. "He looked at me and said, ‘Dr., I’m afraid, why are you respecting me so much? Do you need something from me?’” That’s what decades of dehumanisation do. #VoicesAgainstTorture

Day 2: Regional Forum is underway! Participants are exploring how to ensure that rehabilitation efforts truly reflect the voices, needs, and rights of survivors. Dialogue continues, grounded in experience, driven by purpose. #MENAForum2025 #VoicesAgainstTorture #Lebanon #Syria
