Wars in the 21st Century: Mental Health Impacts, Intervention Strategies, and the Cost to Our Humanity

Meet the Speaker : Dr. Sadeia Hamid

I am the Founder and Executive Director of Hope and Haven for Refugees Organization. I am from Sudan, and my work focuses on supporting conflict-affected communities through healthcare, mental health and psychosocial support, food assistance, and emergency response in Sudan and Chad. I am passionate about community-led humanitarian action and advocating for the rights and dignity of refugees and displaced people. I hold a Master’s degree in Information Security and am honored to share our experiences and lessons from the field at the World Congress of Psychiatry.
