Pyschologists build bonds between Turks, Syrians even as refugee sentiment sours

A group of clinical psychologists has spent the last two years working in schools with large Syrian student bodies to build bonds between the two communities, train teachers to recognize and help troubled children and treat their psychic wounds. The Trauma-Informed Schools project by Maya Vakfi, an Istanbul-based foundation, has created a model it now hopes schools around the country and other nongovernmental organizations will embrace.
