Heartbeat of Humanity

In this third and final episode of our miniseries on Ambiguous Loss, we dig deep with Roubina Tahmazian from ICRC into the critical yet often overlooked topic of children’s wellbeing in the context of families of the missing. Too often, the needs and emotional wellbeing of children are sidelined as families grapple with the uncertainty and challenges of missing loved ones, with no or very limited support from the surrounding.

Roubina Tahmazian, clinical psychologist and MHPSS delegate for the ICRC , shares her insights drawn from her experience working with families of the missing across different countries. Her compassionate perspective enlighten us on ways to prioritize children’s support while navigating complex family dynamics during such difficult times.
