Psychologist Steps Up for Migrant Survivors in Greece

A Tragic Shipwreck Sparks Urgent Mental Health Response

Over 79 migrants lost their lives, and hundreds remain missing after an overcrowded boat capsized near Greece on June 14 – one of the deadliest incidents of its kind this year. Rescuers in the port city of Kalamata, where survivors were brought, confirmed their physical stability but emphasized the urgent need for psychological care.

Healing Invisible Wounds

Psychologists are now working tirelessly to support traumatized survivors, many of whom endured hours at sea clinging to debris. 'The emotional toll is immense,' said one volunteer. 'We’re focusing on stabilizing their mental health while respecting their stories of survival.'

A Nation Mourns

Greece declared three days of national mourning, with officials calling for international cooperation to prevent future tragedies. The disaster has reignited global conversations about migration policies and humanitarian aid.
