I think that delivering first aid is not just needed for the body.

我認為急救不僅僅只有身體需要。

關係子句

We need also to train people to save the soul and the mind of people who are suffering from a traumatic event.

人們也需要透過訓練來拯救靈魂，和被創傷折磨的人們的心。

This is a Essam Daod, a child psychiatrist, former surgeon and father.

他是Essam Daod，一名兒童精神病學家、前外科醫生和爸爸。

Four years ago, he and his wife traveled to the Greek island of Lesbos, at the height of the Syrian refugee crisis, to help with the relief effort.

四年前，他和妻子在敘利亞難民危機最嚴重的時候前往希臘的萊斯沃斯島協助救援工作。

These refugees were fleeing a brutal civil war back home and many of them were children.

他們為了逃離家鄉殘酷的內戰而成為難民，其中許多人還是兒童。

It was here that Essam came to a startling realization.

就在這次，Essam了解到一個駭人的真相。

Today, all the focus of the humanitarian aid delegation and efforts goes to the basic need of body, shelter, food, and really little goes to the mental health.

現金，人道援助代表團的焦點和努力的都放在了身體、住所、食物等基本需求上，很少關注到心理健康。

In fact PTSD among Syrian refugee children has been so severe that a new phrase was coined to describe it, "human devastation syndrome."

事實上，敘利亞難民兒童的創傷後壓力症（PTSD）問題非常嚴重，以至於有人創造了一個新的詞來描述它：「人類感情重創綜合症」。

It's not the life that I want as a doctor, as a surgeon, as a child psychiatrist to give to anyone.

作為一名醫生、一名外科醫生、一名兒童精神科醫生，我不希望有人會經歷這種生活。

Essam realized that something needed to be done and he had to be the one to do it.

Essam意識到有些事需要去做，而他必須去做這些事。

When our brain experiences a traumatic event, the toll it takes on our mental health can last for a very long time.

當我們的大腦經歷創傷性事件，對我們的心理健康造成的損失可能會持續很長一段時間。

It's an overwhelming experience and when this experience is shaped as bad, it can cause traumatic stress disorder and can cause depression and anxiety and violence and aggression.

這是一種壓倒性的經歷，當這種經歷被塑造得很糟糕時，就會引起創傷性應激障礙，並可能導致抑鬱、焦慮，以及暴力和攻擊行為。

I think that we have this very short window of opportunity, what I call the Golden hour, that we can really do the intervention before the you know, the experience can be stored and imprinted in the brain, especially for kids.

我認為我們有一個非常短的機會窗口，我稱之為黃金時間，可以在人意識到前進行干預，而這樣的經驗可以深深儲存在大腦中，特別是孩子。

Essam explains with a story about Omar, a young Syrian refugee.

Essam 用一個敘利亞年輕難民奧馬爾的故事來解釋。

He arrived on a boat with his family and he was like terrifying and say, "Don't worry Omar, they are coming to film you, you are a hero across the sea."

他和他的家人一起乘船到達，他很害怕，然後說：「別擔心，奧馬爾，他們是來拍你的，你是一個橫跨海洋的英雄。」

The volunteers came around him and start saying, "Omar! the superhero. Let me see your muscles," and he started laughing and he was so happy in less than 15 minutes.

志願者們來到他身邊，開始說：「超級英雄奧馬爾！讓我看看你的肌肉！」然後他開始大笑，在不到15分鐘的時間裡，他就開心了起來。

By telling him he's a hero, Essam gives Omar an empowering narrative that he can tell himself for the rest of his life.

藉由告訴他他是一名英雄，Essam給予奧馬爾一個充滿力量的故事，他便可以在餘生中講述自己的故事。

And then all these experiences and memories that he had from that event will be stored as something good and that's it, Omar now is not suffering from PTSD.

然後從那個事件中的所有這些經驗和記憶將被儲存為美好的東西，僅是如此，奧馬爾沒有患創傷後應激障礙。

In 2015, Essam and his wife started Humanity Crew, an organization that provides mental health services for refugees in the Mediterranean.

2015年，伊薩姆和他的妻子創辦了人性小組（Humanity Crew），這是一個為地中海地區難民提供心理健康服務的組織。

Humanity Crew, until now, since 2015, delivered 32,000 hours of mental health support to over 12,000 refugees.

自2015年以來到現在，人性小組為超過12000名難民提供了32,000小時的心理健康支持。

The work they do underscores the vital role mental health plays in helping refugees.

他們所做的工作強調了心理健康在幫助難民方面發揮的重要作用。

But unfortunately with little funding for treatment, millions of refugees are left to grapple with their trauma on their own.

但不幸的是，由於用於治療的資金很少，數以百萬計的難民只能靠自己的力量來解決他們的創傷。

Providing this intervention is not just saving the souls and the minds of the people, which is also the future of them and the future of the whole society and the future of their homeland because they will rebuild it.

提供這種干預不僅僅是在拯救人們的靈魂和思想，也是他們的未來和整個社會的未來，以及他們故鄉的未來，因為他們將重建家園。

I think we can all agree that as human beings, we deserve to see ourselves as individuals with value, as heroes of our own stories, not victims.

我想大家都同意，身為人類，我們應該把自己看作是有價值的個體，作我們自己故事的英雄，而不是受害者。

I give them the ability to think that they are heroes.

我給他們的能力是認為他們是英雄。

I believe truly that there are heroes and for that we believe Essam is a hero, too.

我真的相信英雄存在，我們也相信Essam是一個英雄。
