Curfews, military incursions, targeted killing, movement restrictions, arrests, terror acts, humiliation, poverty, and economic condition have affected every single person, right from infants to aged people. Volatility on a daily basis aggravates anxiety and stress - these unfortunate people cease to have any control over their lives (SARC, 2015; PRCS Mental Health Department, 2003; Irwin & Scali, 2010).
The present situation in Syria is devastating, aggravated by memories of past conflicts and the ultimate loss of identity and land. Coping methods attack religious beliefs, cultural traditions, and community lifestyle vigorously. The most prominent impacts of relentless conflict include hopelessness; such situations have a lasting effect on people, their family, and the overall community. Discovering methods for overcoming the ordeal they have experienced is the lone means to a better future, for these people (SARC, 2015; Zimiles, 2009).
Epidemiology of the health/mental health issue
The collective effect of conflict elements deeply affects individual and community psyche. External social and psychological support is an alien concept for the people of Syria. They are not used to voicing their feelings and problems. Only a few dependable psychological, psychosocial and mental health services are available to them, but these services are plagued with several problems, including accessibility, quality, sustainability, and professionalism (Irwin & Scali, 2010).
In keeping with Syria's existing support system and culture, a comprehensive, family-focused psychosocial service intervention is chosen. Family constitutes a source of strength for Syrians, thus being central to their coping; therefore, the best approach to supporting the community would be working through families. "Psycho-social" implies that the intervention combines social and psychological support techniques, understanding that affected persons should be supported and incorporated in social support systems as well. These interventions ensure community empowerment to actively take part in supporting each other by providing them with requisite resources and knowledge. This is a large-scale effort towards capacity building, and thus, the proposal will revolve around SARC's plans for integrating psychosocial services, in accordance with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies psychosocial policy, via its emergency services, primary healthcare, rehabilitation facilities, volunteers and youth, social welfare and disaster preparedness and response, under the Department of Mental Health's (MHD's) leadership (SARC, 2015; de Savigny and Adam, 2009).

Health Care As human beings, our health and longevity have never been better. Many people today live to 100 years and beyond, and often in good and active health.
