Counseling Professor Dana Fakhro Brings Personal Experience to Refugee Mental Health
Counseling professor Dania Fakhro remembers her neighbors in Syria wearing the keys to the homes they had been forced to flee around their necks. Born and raised in Syria, Fakhro witnessed refugees from the region arrive in her home country in droves, seeking safety as gunshots and explosions echoed in the streets many miles away.
