John, all children have a right to grow up healthy – physically and mentally. But right now, global crises are putting kids' emotional well-being in serious danger. 

For children affected by conflict like the war in Ukraine or the crisis in Gaza, surviving is just the beginning. 

They’ve been displaced, lost loved ones, experienced devastating conflict, spent hundreds of hours sheltering underground and had every aspect of their lives disrupted. They’re traumatized. 

Together, we can help them overcome unthinkable hardships. 

As the world’s leading expert on childhood, we help children recover from trauma and go on to reach their full potential. Today, we’re inviting you to learn more about a key part of our mental health support programming: child-friendly spaces.

In refugee camps, conflict zones and communities affected by disaster, our teams set up child-friendly spaces where children can receive necessary psychosocial support and have a chance to be kids again.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, join us for a virtual journey through a child-friendly space to see how supporters like you are making a difference for children affected by the war in Ukraine and other crises around the world.

Your support is crucial to all our efforts, from building child-friendly spaces to providing aid to children in crisis around the world. Thank you for all you do to help children grow up healthy, learning and safe.
