دعوة المنظمات الرائدة في مجال الصحة العقلية للأطفال لاتخاذ إجراء على الصعيد العالمي ضد صدمات الرضع والأطفال والمراهقين

سنغافورة – 30 مايو 2023 – أظهرت الأبحاث أن معظم الاضطرابات العقلية تتطور في مرحلتي الطفولة والمراهقة قبل سن 25، حيث يعيش الشباب ربع أعمارهم بإعاقة بسبب الاضطرابات العقلية وتعاطي المخدرات.

لمعالجة هذه المسألة الملحة، وحشد الجهود العالمية، أعلنت كل من الجمعية الدولية للطب النفسي للأطفال والمراهقين والمهن المرتبطة بها (IACAPAP)، والجمعية الدولية للطب النفسي وعلم النفس للمراهقين (ISAPP)، والجمعية العالمية للصحة العقلية للرضع (WAIMH)، والجمعية العالمية للطب النفسي للأطفال والمراهقين وقسم الطب النفسي (WPA-CAP) أن أبريل 2023 هو اليوم العالمي للصحة العقلية للرضع والأطفال والمراهقين (WICAMHD).

شهد هذا العام الفعالية السنوية الثانية لليوم العالمي للصحة العقلية للرضع والأطفال والمراهقين (WICAMHD)، تحت شعار الوقوف ضد صدمات الرضع والأطفال والمراهقين.

يشكل الأطفال والمراهقين ثلث سكان العالم. وتُعد الطفولة والمراهقة سنوات أساسية تتميز بالنمو والتعلم والاستكشاف الخالي من الهموم. ومع ذلك، يصاب كثير من الأشخاص حول العالم بالصدمات والأزمات، وهي تجارب سلبية أظهرت الأبحاث أن لها تأثيرات طويلة الأمد على صحتهم العقلية والبدنية.

أوضحت الدراسات أيضًا أن حوالي 15 % إلى 43 % من البنات و14% إلى 43 % من الأولاد يتعرضون لتجربة مؤلمة مرة على الأقل.

تعتبر تجارب الطفولة السيئة (ACEs) أيضًا من العوامل التي تساهم في زيادة الاضطرابات العقلية في سنوات البلوغ. وتمثل الأثار غير المباشرة والمعقدة لذلك عبئًا اقتصاديًا ضخمًا على المجتمع، ولا سيما في مجالات الرعاية الصحية والخسارة الإنتاجية.

يُعد الأطفال في مناطق الحروب والكوارث الطبيعية تحديدًا سريعي التأثر بشكل أكبر. وخلال الفعالية السنوية الثانية لليوم العالمي للصحة العقلية للرضع والأطفال والمراهقين شارك ثلاثة متحدثين مشهورين تجاربهم بشأن صدمات الطفولة.

ناقش دكتور دينيس أوجرين، استشاري الطب النفسي للأطفال والمراهقين، وأستاذ زائر بقسم الطب النفسي للأطفال والمراهقين والصحة النفسية العالمية بمعهد الطب النفسي، وقسم علم النفس وعلم الأعصاب، بكلية كينجز كوليدج لندن، آثار الحرب في أوكرانيا.

قدم دكتور فوسون سيتين كوادار أوغلو، أستاذ الطب النفسي للأطفال والمراهقين، كلية الطب، جامعة حجة تبة، أنقرة، تركيا، عرضًا حول الآثار الصادمة للزلزال الذي ضرب تركيا مؤخرًا.

وأخيرًا، ألقت دكتور: ميشيل ميلر، مديرة برامج الصحة العقلية، والتحالف الوطني للأطفال بالولايات المتحدة، الضوء على الاستجابة القائمة على الأدلة للأطفال المعرضون للصدمات. وقد أعقب ذلك حلقة نقاش.

بالإضافة إلى الفعالية الرئيسية، فقد عقدت العديد من المنظمات الوطنية فعاليات وقدمت جهودها المناصرة للاحتفال بذكرى اليوم العالمي للصحة العقلية للرضع والأطفال والمراهقين.

ويشمل ذلك، الجمعية الهندية للصحة العقلية للأطفال والمراهقين (IACAM)، والجمعية الليتوانية للطب النفسي للأطفال والمراهقين (LVPPD) والأكاديمية الأمريكية للطب النفسي للأطفال والمراهقين (AACAP) والجمعية النمساوية للطب النفسي للأطفال والمراهقين، وعلم النفس الجسدي، والعلاج النفسي (ASCAP) وجمعية الطب النفسي للأطفال والمرهقين، وكلية الأطباء النفسيين، وأكاديمية الطب في سنغافورة (SCAP).

Stoltenberg: Sweden will become NATO member

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg Tuesday discussed Sweden’s accession to NATO among other issues with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store in Oslo.

“Sweden will become a member. All Allies have invited them to join,” the NATO chief told a press conference after the meeting.

“I am in close and constant contact with Turkish authorities, to ensure that Sweden becomes a full member as soon as possible,” he said.

“This is important for Norway’s security. It is important for the whole Nordic and Baltic region. And it is important for NATO,” added Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian prime minister himself.

Finland and Sweden applied for NATO membership following Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

However, while Finland joined the military alliance last April, Sweden’s bid has been held up by objections from Turkey as well as Hungary.

Turkey wants Sweden to ban the Kurdish PKK “terrorist” group.

Hungary is irritated over Swedish criticism of the country’s record on democracy and the rule of law.

NATO foreign ministers are expected to discuss the issue during their informal meeting in Oslo on Wednesday and Thursday.

ICSS CEO to QNA: “The ICSS Committed to Promoting Sustainable Development and Environmental Protection In and Through Sport” -1-

Regarding partnerships (locally and internationally) the ICSS has entered to help facilitate positive change, ICSS CEO said “All partners are important from big agencies to small youth organizations. We all have a role. You need to work with international organizations to align your work with the global agenda, the SDGs in particular, with enlightened national agencies like Qatar Charity and QFFD which represent a unique and powerful engine, as well as an opportunity to integrate our efforts into more complex development and humanitarian efforts. And you need the local stakeholders because they will ensure the success of your work by making sure that beneficiaries become agents of change and will take the lead in the long term.” “Sustainability is a transversal concept which should be present in all our activities and project. It should be part of our working and life style. Sustainability should be actioned and not simply discussed,” he underlined On the role that sport in general and the ICSS in particular can play in addressing climate change, Montanari said “Sport teaches values like integrity and respect. If you have integrity, if you respect yourself and others you will have the right attitude towards environment. At the same time, athletes can be great advocates and help people understand that respecting environment is the only option. The sport sector itself has to become more accountable when we talk about preserving resources and protecting environment and if we really want to lead by example. Youth will look at our behaviors.” Regarding that the long-term vision of the ICSS to find solutions through sport to environmental challenges, Montanari told QNA “We don’t have a specific programme on environment but messages about environment are present in all our initiatives. We talk about it when we promote sustainability safety and security policies, when we promote ethics and integrity in sport or when we use sport and its values to empower and educate young people. Environment is always one of the key topics. We think about environment also in our daily activities. The items we procure, the water we drink. We give priority to zero-miles products, goods manufactured with recyclable materials and any other solution that can help us in delivering a better world to the future generations.”
