Mr. Shaker Abu Humaid, 52
years, is the head of a family of thirteen members. Unemployed for over 12
years and a resident of Jabalia camp, he was referred to
WHCJ a year and a half ago by a male
community leader. The request was for social and psychological assistance for himself and his adolescent son a and
daughter who attempted suicide due to their pressing economic condition. All
the family members have received individual and group therapy by the male and
female counselors of the Center. The
WHCJ referred him to the MoH mental health facility and since then he
has been receiving free medication. He
has also been referred to a social NGO that has given him given the opportunity to start a small family
business (mobile mini-shop in front of his house). The social and psychological
assistance received by Shaker was a life changer and savior for himself and his
family.
