Sara Zualghena (30), from Syria, is completing a master’s degree in counseling/psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
Sara’s studies will equip her with the skills and knowledge to enhance her current frameworks and practice as a clinical psychologist. Conflict settings create a huge spectrum of needs, and help is not readily available to women and children affected by violence.
Sara’s goal is to develop strategies such as tele-health to enable access to the most rural and vulnerable populations. Driven by her own lived experience and the lack of qualified psychology practitioners, Sara is committed to improving the mental health needs of her Syrian community.
