PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOVERNMENT
TGD has collaborated with Punjab Social Welfare Department which now offers free medical and psychological help to families affected by terrorism in all government hospitals in Lahore. TGD is endeavoring to ensure that this service can soon be extended all over Punjab and then nationwide.
Collaboration with 1122 Emergency Services
TGD has worked with 1122 to assess the vulnerability and mental health of the first responders who deal with trauma and high stress on a continuous basis. We have provided them opportunities for counseling as well as recommended measures to institutionalize such services so that proper care is available to those who risk their lives to provide emergency care to citizens.
