Palestinian children are gripped by a mental health crisis - we urgently need your help today.
Violence in the West Bank continues to surge resulting in more children being detained by the Israeli military, more homes destroyed, and more lives shattered. Christians in the West Bank are providing vital services, from emergency counselling and safe spaces to wider support that helps them heal - but they need your support to continue this vital work. Please give a donation today so we can continue to show children growing up in a world of violence and fear, that healing is possible.
DONATE NOW
Supporting Embrace with a regular donation helps our partners respond to whatever the future may bring. Alternatively, a one-off gift of whatever you can afford could provide therapy and healing to children in the West Bank.

BISAN’S STORY
Bisan is just 14 but has already endured multiple detentions by the Israeli military which left her terrified, withdrawn and unable to sleep.
But our Christian partners found Bisan a safe space where she could begin to heal. There, Bisan – and many more children like her - find friendship, support and the courage they’ll need for the road ahead. ‘We didn’t just become a group… we became a family.’
Bisan’s newfound sense of security helped her rediscover her voice. Through counselling and creative expression, Bisan began to write again, using words to process her pain, reclaim her identity and imagine a future filled with hope.
