  • Anyone, anywhere can experience trauma as a result of situations and events that are distressing and frightening, shares emergency doctor and child refugee Dr Waheed Arian and it can impact us physically, mentally and socially. In this courageous and heartfelt talk, Waheed shares his personal story of fleeing Afghanistan as a child to becoming an adult and doctor in the UK, to help show his journey of healing from trauma and PTSD. His overriding message is one of hope and compassion - it was the individual acts of kindness, the moments of compassion from others and to himself and the hope for a better future that helped him heal from his traumas. Waheed’s journey from war-torn Afghanistan and the refugee camps of his childhood to becoming an NHS Innovation Mentor, WHO Digital Health Expert and NHS Emergency doctor is remarkable. He is also the founder of the pioneering telemedicine charity Arian Teleheal and the mental health venture Arian Wellbeing. His memoir In The Wars: From Afghanistan to the UK and beyond was published in 2021 and he has been named a UNESCO Global Hope Hero and UN Global Goals Goalkeeper. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Salutes to this man as someone who experienced refugee life, poverty and war especially in an era he lived one couldn't imagine qualifying to Cambridge and I am sure 1% of those refugees would have only heard the name of Cambridge but overcoming those situations and becoming someone in this highly competitive world is amazing and totally unexpected.
    In fact helping others is the best healing one can give to himself.

    God loves you and takes care of you. The biggest loss that a person loses in this life is to live and die while he does not know God or His Messenger, Muhammad, the last of the prophets and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions, from intelligence. Before you believe in something or not, study it and try to understand it well, and then you have the choice. By reading the Noble Qur’an with translation and trying to understand it before time runs out
