The Back to Life program includes structured psychosocial support delivered by a Yazidi psychologist employed by Yahad – In Unum. He himself lives in the Kadia camp with his family. In 2025, regular sessions were implemented across the program’s three sites Kadia, Shariya, and Sinjar, including in the villages. This support is provided to groups with identified psychosocial needs, in particular women survivors of violence, children and adolescents affected by prolonged disruption, and young adults facing difficulties readjusting after years of enslavement. Interventions are based on both individual and group sessions, enabling tailored follow-up to each situation and supporting emotional stabilization. The continuity of this care responds to the long- term and complex nature of trauma linked to genocide and forced displacement. Each month, several dozen beneficiaries receive psychological support across the different sites. This assistance is an essential prerequisite for the program’s other components, as it helps participants engage in training, rebuild social ties, and pursue reintegration over the medium and long term. Many young people said that the psychologist’s support was key to helping them move beyond their trauma.
