Broken Homes, Broken Families:
supporting families whose homes have been demolished

Rema Saleh and Dima Tadros


Join Meeting

 

In this last Café Palestine of 2020 we focus on the destruction of people’s homes that so epitomise the brutal nature of Israel’s control of Palestine and its people. We welcome Remal Salah and Dima Tadros from the Palestine Councelling Centre to discuss the support they provide to families who have experienced this unimaginable assault. The meeting will be chaired by Linda Ramsden, Director of ICAHD-UK.

Remal Salah is a Senior Psychologist, professional supervisor, and trainer at thePalestinian Counseling Center. Remal has over 20 years of experience in psychological first aid and emergency response in Palestine. Remal holds two Master degrees in Art Therapy and in Psychological and Educational Counseling, as well as a Higher Diploma in Clinical and Community Supervision. 

Dima Tadros is a programs development officer and trainer at the Palestinian Counseling Centre. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Social Work at Bethlehem University.

Linda Ramsden is the Director of ICAHD UK which supports the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD). For over twenty years ICAHD has been opposing Israel’s cruel, tragic demolition policies that are a gross violation of international law and that have effected hundreds of thousands of Palestinians lives. During 2020 while the coronavirus pandemic has swept through the region, ICAHD has witnessed one of Israel’s largest campaigns of home demolitions since its work began.
