Oxfam is a global movement working to end the injustice of poverty and inequality.

The compounded impact of Lebanons prolonged economic and political crisis, the ongoing humanitarian and refugee response. These pressures have been further intensified by an ongoing war in Lebanon that started in 2024, which introduced an additional layer of operational, emotional, and personal stress.

Remote/Online Access: Provide individual sessions at an agreed location (Oxfam office or consultants clinic), with virtual sessions available for staff unable to attend in person. Confidentiality and Ethical Practice: Ensure all services are delivered in accordance with professional ethical standards, confidentiality, safeguarding, and data protection requirements.
