- Title
An urgent call for action: Lebanon's children are falling through the cracks after economic collapse and a destructive blast.

- Abstract
"The true measure of a nation's standing is how well it attends to its children - their health and safety, their material security, their education and socialization, and their sense of being loved, valued, and included in the families and societies into which they are born." While it is possible for professionals residing abroad to offer such services via telehealth at reduced and affordable costs, the ultimate goal would be to train professionals in Lebanon to support community-wide and one-to-one interventions. Given the gravity of the situation in Lebanon and the importance of early intervention, we encourage professionals residing in high-income nations to extend such training and certification services to Lebanese professionals, or professionals-to-be.
