Need for Psychological and Social Interventions
Alireza Jalali, the CEO of the Phoenix Association, emphasizes the importance of creating supportive programs for these children. He believes that medical treatments alone are not enough and that special attention must be given to improving the psychological and social conditions of these children. The psychological trauma resulting from burns can have long-term effects on their lives and may lead to serious problems in the future.
Creating supportive and restorative spaces for these children can help them cope with their pain and achieve psychological improvement. Additionally, providing necessary training to families to support their children during this difficult time is another essential part of this process.
The burn tragedy in Minab once again shows that the mental and social health of any community is as important as its physical health, and in this regard, our responsibility as members of a community should include supporting the victims and striving to create better conditions for them.
