In response to the opening of a number of humanitarian crossings in Rural Idlib and Rural Aleppo, and the return of some families, the Syrian Society for Social Development team, accompanied by the Governor of Idlib, Director of Social Affairs and Labor, and government agencies in the governorate, visited the crossing in Maarat al-Numan, Rural Idlib. The aim of the visit was to review the current situation of services, assess the needs of returning families, and try to coordinate with government agencies, as well as other organizations and societies to develop future plans for intervention.

The Syrian Society for Social Development team, in cooperation with UNHCR, implemented an awareness session entitled "Urinary Incontinence in Children as a Warning Sign" within the MH and PSS programmes in Naseej Center, Hama.

The session aimed to raise awareness among women about the problem of urinary incontinence in children and its causes. Furthermore, the medical aspect was emphasized through directing women towards medical advice.

During the session, the women shared their experiences, whereby each of them explained the methods they were using with their children to tackle the problem.

In the end, the women asked the specialist questions individually, and they were thanked for attending the session.

Due to the widespread use of drugs and narcotics at schools, making the latter accessible to children, and in order to raise awareness on the dangers of this dangerous phenomenon on the community and individuals, SSSD implemented awareness sessions on the harms of drugs in cooperation with UNHCR.  These sessions were part of the Child Protection programme and Mental Health department in Souran center, Hama.

The sessions included health and psychological awareness, and targeted a wide range of men, women and adolescents. During these sessions, several topics were discussed, including the dangers of addiction and narcotic drugs on physical and mental health, and its impact on society.

Furthermore, the health point doctor presented educational videos about the types of drugs, and how they affect humans.
