Mona Youssri

I am a medical doctor MBBCH, with a Psychiatry specialization, followed by an MA in Psychology. Working as a psychiatrist and encountering patients struggling with mental health made me think of how I can have a role in reducing the struggles. So, as it is known that environment can have a significant role in stimulating mental illness specifically for those genetically predisposed, I decided to work with parents and Teachers on regulating the environments where children are nurtured into healthy well-balanced human beings. Being very passionate about children wellbeing and safeguarding, I use Play Therapy methods and conduct parent-child play assessments to treat parent- child interaction problems. I also work with children showing behavioral problems mostly using play therapy methods and behavioral management techniques. I also conduct and design programs for; teachers' workshops as well as parenting lectures, in addition to designing school counseling systems including training and supervision of school counselors. I am always very passionate about my work and always give it my best, as I believe anyone in the profession of helping people, should always have a genuine desire to support people and help them improve their lives.
