Syrian refugee 𝗝𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘄𝗼𝗱 turned her own experience of displacement into a global mental health lifeline for refugees. In 2018, she founded 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁, a digital psychological support platform providing accessible mental health care to refugees in four languages. newfaceofsyria.org/gallery/

Syrian refugee Jin Dawod turned her own experience of displacement into a global mental health lifeline for refugees. After fleeing the Syrian civil war as a teenager and finding refuge in Türkiye, she carried the invisible weight of fear, uncertainty and isolation.

While studying computer engineering, Jin set out to create a solution: an online therapy platform connecting refugees with psychologists in their mother tongue. In 2018, she founded Peace Therapist, a digital psychological support platform providing accessible mental health care to refugees in four languages.

A recipient of the 2024 Nansen Refugee Award for Europe, Jin is recognized for her dedication to healing trauma, fostering resilience and helping people find inner peace, essential steps toward creating a more peaceful world.

“I wanted to make a solution that is accessible, anonymous and in the mother language for the people who are reaching out for help.”
