In this episode, we are joined by Najwan Kaakani, an ASU graduate with degrees in business and sustainability. Najwan shares her personal experiences as an Iraqi refugee and talks us through the toll it took on her mental health, and how it continues to this day. Najwan is currently lending her efforts to UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) and their very first virtual Gaza 5K Run/Walk campaign. The initiative is focused on raising funds for their Community Mental Health Program (CMHP) and makes access to mental health care a reality for all Palestine refugee children in the Gaza Strip. If you are interested in donating, please refer to the information below. Every dollar counts--so please support in whatever way you're able to give mental health access to children in the Gaza strip with mental health needs as well as provide relief fund for Palestine refugees in Lebanon.
