The conflict in Syria has led to the largest refugee crisis, which has devastated Syria and its people. Children currently represent more than 50% of the Syrian refugees in Jordan. These children have experienced heavy emotional, social, and spiritual burdens associated with death, separation from parents and/or other family members, suffered injuries, missed years of schooling, and witnessed unspeakable violence. 

UMR works to limit these effects on children by strengthening the coping mechanisms of children, their families, and their communities. This program aims to provide psychosocial support services to children and their families through different activities, life skills training, awareness sessions, and counseling in order to help them cope better with their environment and the society. 

This program is focused in Jordan and has been implemented since 2016. It is ongoing and contingent upon funding, so any donations will help ensure that this program can continue. General program activities include: psychodrama and group therapy, individual therapy, art therapy, narrative therapy, and marriage counseling.
