You will never be alone: The Transformative Power of “I Support My Friend”

Adolescents in the West Bank have a lot of reasons to worry. This constant stress and anxiety can take a serious toll on them and have life-long consequences. To support them, World Vision has launched a new initiative called “I Support My Friend” (ISMF). The programme trains young people to recognise emotional distress among their peers, to offer psychological first aid, and to support each other in kind, informed, and stigma-free ways.
