UNICEF: Children associated with armed conflict 'haunted' by experiences

The Children Agency UNICEF has launched a video series highlighting on Nightmares in children associated with armed forces and armed groups 

 
The series called ‘When I close my eyes’. It is based on real experiences of children in South Sudan and is aimed at drawing attention to the psychological effects of being used by armed forces and armed groups. 

 

The series focuses on recurring nightmares as a common reaction in children associated with armed forces and armed groups (CAAFAG) and its devastating effects.

 

To expound on this, Sebit William had an enlightening 30" discussion with:

Helene Ryeng - Communication Specialist UNICEF 

Abraham Deng – Social Worker with the Mobile Theater Team 

Christian Alama – UNICEF consultant on mental health
