Motivation to move! Stimulating and inspiring children and young adults who live with a physical and mental challenge is what moves us. We want children and young people to become the best version of themselves. That is why we motivate them to get moving and chase their dreams. No matter how big the first step is. Being able to overcome, grow and develop is the essence of a good life for us. Day in, day out, we work on solutions and possibilities with future prospects and opportunities. Together we make a difference for others with our initiatives, programs and products. We ensure relevance and inclusion. The mentality of Bibian Mentel, multiple internationally awarded Paralympic top athlete, forms the foundation for our actions.

Art to Healing's mission is to support the recovery of child sex slaves, and women and children who have experienced sex trafficking, and exploitation in Asia with trauma-informed care and mental health support so that the cycle of sex slavery ends. We believe that this care is vital if women and girls are to recover from their traumatic pasts, build resilience and imagine new possibilities for their lives, that is free from fear, abuse, and exploitation. Without the effective care and support of a trained trauma-informed professional, community support and a solid foundation of safety, women, and girls frequently return to sex slavery.

UMUDU CANLANDIRMA DERNEGI - Hope Revival Organization (HRO) is a humanitarian, advocacy, and non-profit organization dedicated to working with communities afflicted by conflict and crisis in order to overcome experiencing difficulty coping. HRO is a service-focused organization with a variety of objectives and the intent of promoting development as well as service projects that address everyday needs. As such, HRO's main mission is to promote psychosocial wellbeing through the provision of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services, capacity building and awareness raising of the target communities themselves. Our target group, as mandated in our mission, is "populations or people affected by crisis". Displaced people often face threats to their safety and dignity, including violence, coercion, exploitation and deprivation, as well as restrictions on their access to services, assistance, livelihoods and other basic rights. For HRO, populations and people affected by displacement include: IDPs, refugees, returnees, people at risk of displacement and people who are unable to flee (whether they are being obstructed or because they lack the means or ability to do so). Given the important role that host communities have in supporting displaced people and in contributing to durable solutions, we also include members of host communities in our programmes. This aligns with our conflict-sensitive approach and our efforts to understand and mitigate the potential negative effects of our interventions and programmes on communities, markets and the environment. HRO primarily works in situations of armed conflict, providing assistance, protection and concrete solutions. In order to enhance integration among refugees and host community members, HRO also targets those host communities to ensure a peaceful coexistence and that needs of both are met and addressed. Wherever we are present, we try to avail our long experience in war settings that are affected by protracted crisis and prioritize targeting the most vulnerable groups especially those with limited mobility or living in remote areas or even those affected by natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, etc. Therefore, HRO aims to enhance their access to evidence-based, high quality, and culturally sensitive MHPSS services and to build sustainable local capacities and provide comprehensive, integrated, and community-based services that promote their resilience and overall wellbeing. HRO focuses on community care by creating safe environments that foster the effective participation of women, youth, and people with disabilities in economic, social and civil activities in order to limit marginalization, mitigate violence, empower them, and raise their awareness about their rights, which in turn helps in eliminating poverty and improving the quality of life and community resilience. HRO provides its services to all community categories (women, men, girls, and boys) regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity, or gender, using community-based, context-related, and culturally appropriate approaches within the following sectors: 1. MHPSS (Mental Health and Psychosocial Support) Programme aims to create safe spaces where people can be more capable of managing events that threaten their well-being, to prevent or reduce their negative effects on their everyday lives. Through this programme, HRO works on making MHPSS services easily accessible and meeting the special needs of those people whose lives are burdened by a history of trauma and stress, while also responding to the social, economic, and political impacts of these problems. HRO MHPSS Programme includes: a) mental health integration into health facilities (providing a primary mental health care inside hospitals and MHPSS centers as part of general health care which is more accessible, cost-effective and less stigmatizing); b) Community Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (community-based MHPSS case management approach that meets multiple needs helps people set goals, and links them with different available services and support); c) MHPSS interventions (including clinical supervision, MHPSS focused non-specialized, MHPSS specialized interventions, psychological first aid (PFA), psychosocial support activities, capacity development, advocacy, child and youth psychosocial programmes, and early childhood development). 2. Protection (violence prevention and response) and advocacy programme aims to promote gender equality, affirm and advocate for human rights, provide support to people who have experienced violence, especially the most vulnerable groups (females, children, elderly and persons with disabilities) and raise public awareness about their rights to mitigate and prevent discrimination against them, in addition to providing legal assistance and mine action services. HRO Protection Programme includes: a) Gender-based Violence Programme (preventing and responding to GBV, meeting the needs of GBV survivors, highlighting their exposure to GBV, restoring their dignity while ensuring safe access to these services, in addition to empowering them and supporting their economic independence); b) Child Protection (working with families, caregivers, and communities to promote positive social norms and behaviors to help to prevent violence against children, focusing on 3 main areas: Response, Prevention and Integrated Child Protection in Education); c) Mine Action (through risk education, educational activities aimed at reducing the risk of injuries from mines and unexploded ordnance and Victims' assistance with psychosocial support activities, social inclusion, and referral to other services); d) General Protection and Rule of Law (it helps to restore the dignity of individuals by providing quality protection services for the most vulnerable groups in highly affected areas through: protection monitoring, and legal assistance); e) Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse - PSEA (it aims to preventing and responding to SEA committed by humanitarian workers against affected populations through community-based prevention activities and setting out strategies for creating and maintaining a safe and respectful environment); 3. Peace-building (transitional development) aims to increase people's ability to resolve conflict peacefully and reconstruct communication lines between conflicting parties to create more resilient communities through promoting peacebuilding, non-violent communication, negotiation skills, problem solving, positive coping mechanisms, coexistence, community dialogue, de-escalation mechanisms, common ground methodologies, mediation and intervening in disputes, etc.. We provide assistance in emergencies where needs are often the most acute, and where community resilience may be at its most fragile. We frequently work in complex, protracted crises characterized by long-term or cyclical displacement as well as recurring violence and shocks. Our programme and advocacy work contributes to and promotes durable solutions for displacement. Through this spectrum of work, we seek to bridge the gap between humanitarian and development interventions. The contexts where we work are generally highly volatile, and we often see consecutive waves of displacement, therefore, our programme responses should be developed in a way that ensures greater engagement of beneficiaries, community and local civil authorities, in addition to reinforcing community preparedness and resilience. Hope Revival Organization is also planning to create the "NAFSY" Application (My psychology application), a digital platform that provides psycho-social support services using web-based technologies. Through this innovative application, e-learning and e-counseling services are delivered through the e-learning channel (courses, articles, self-placed psycho-analytical quizzes, games, and blogs), which aims to combat the stigma and enhance the efficiency of direct services sector, constituted by an e-counseling channel, which will ensure the access to mental health counseling services by Syrian refugees living in Turkiye, while ensuring adequate and cost-efficiency services, data confidentiality, and cultural sensitivity. By promoting access to mental health services for refugees via mobile application, HRO aims to address the mental health disorders at refugees and displaced populations and overcome the following barriers they might encounter: language barriers (the high-quality of services is ensured through mental health professionals who are Arabic speakers), stigma and social misconceptions about the mental disorders (addressed through the e-learning portal), and financial barriers (combatted through the cost-effectiveness of the mobile application). As such, the innovative aspects of this prototyped application are as follows: the interlink between the e-learning and e-counseling services; the decent work opportunities provided to mental health professionals coming from the diaspora; the self-sustainability and scalability (achieved through a well-settled fundraising strategy) and the cost-efficiency of the mobile application itself.
