Mental health services are not readily available to Syrian refugees, but in Jordan, a country that has many refugees, one nonprofit organization is fighting to change that.
According to The World Health Organization, there are less than 100 health professionals in Jordan and well over 1.5 million refugees living in the country. The nonprofit Alalusi Foundation that focuses on humanitarian and charitable projects around the globe has therefore established a training system for professional who work with refugees.
