Voices Beyond Conflict- International Survey

Story Survey

Voices Beyond Conflict is a non-political and not-for-profit initiative designed to raise awareness and provide online resources for teens and young adults experiencing PTSD due to being affected by armed conflict.

Our mission is to create an online community to illuminate the shared struggle of coping with and overcoming PTSD caused by armed conflict, supported by curated personal stories.

The mental health impact of armed conflict is often overlooked, yet it’s a critical issue that demands increased attention. Gaining an understanding of the long-term effects of war on teens' mental health is imperative. It is essential to raise awareness and provide support for these individuals.

This survey will only take a few minutes of your valuable time and your input could save a life. Thank you!
