During this very special Glitter Meetup, we will feature Team CommUNITY’s NEW Director of Community Mental Health Program, Selma Zaki, who will share the findings of the 2020 Community Health Report: Building Stronger Communities - The case for mental health support for digital rights defenders.
This is a great opportunity to share your reactions to the findings, and provide input on the psychosocial services and workshops that Team CommUNITY will be offering in the coming months.
The report was designed to help validate digital rights defenders' experiences in the last year, while allowing them to better identify what specific interventions are needed. It is also a tool to support organizational leaders and decision makers, providing them an evidence base, so they can better strategize and design solutions that help the people they serve become more resilient.
The report will be published on July 7.
