Qalb Alkasbah – Group Therapy

“We learned that self-esteem is the foundation of our identity, and that assertiveness is neither aggression nor passivity—but balanced strength.”

These sessions affirm that mental well-being is a human right, not a privilege.

Key Features:

  • Group therapy facilitated by trained professionals.
  • Focus on emotional healing, self-expression, and resilience.
