The BBM Foundation provides crisis relief programs around the world, but recently we have trained nearly 300 psychiatrists and mental health professionals in Ukraine. We have received requests from educators around the world to provide crisis relief programs for Palestinians. We do not have contacts or partners on the ground to communicate with Palestinians who might benefit from these practices. Our urgent need now is for Palestinian-Arab translators, so that teachings can be heard in the mother tongue.

We need the following things

1. Persons required to be trained in BBM, basics and first-level teacher training courses. BBM Training provides the skills needed to assist our teachers who deliver weekly online training programs. Level 1 teachers can teach BBM to individuals in need of support. As teachers gain experience and demonstrate more skills, they can start leadership groups in BBM practices. Level 2 and Level 3 teacher training prepares BBM teachers to teach core courses and participate in the training of other teachers.

2. Translating educational materials, announcements, email correspondence, etc. into Arabic

3. Computer technology skills to run BBMF Zoom courses.

4. Fundraising to pay the wages of translators and BBM teachers

5. Networking – Contacting groups and individuals who may be interested in collaborating or supporting our work. For example. Contact organizations whose members may be proficient in Arabic for translation assistance during BBM courses or document translation. For example, people with connections to groups in Palestine who might be interested in BBM stress relief training for their workers on the ground or for their staff to offer to survivors and refugees there.

6. Someone creates a logo for BBM in Palestine.
