Lebanese Psychiatric Society Shares Recommendations Ahead Of Aug 4 Anniversary
For the 2-year commemoration of the devastating Beirut blast, the Lebanese Psychiatric Society have come out with recommendations to help floundering citizens ahead of the dreadful day.
The Lebanese Psychiatric Society recommends:
1. If you are still traumatized by the blast, minimize your exposure to social media during the next 3 days.
2. If you are posting videos or images from the blast or its aftermath pin a “trigger warning” to it.
3. Please remember that each person remembers this day differently and will wish to grieve or commemorate it also differently. There is no right or wrong way.
Two years have passed and no one has been held accountable for the blast that shook the capital city and took the lives of over 230 individuals. The nation continues to suffer at the hands of a negligent government.
If you are struggling during these dark times, make sure to check out these mental health support services in Lebanon.
