Sharjah 24: Moza Al Shehhi, Director of the Family Guidance at the Sharjah Family Development, announced the department's involvement in the 44th Sharjah International Book Fair. During this event, the department will provide an array of social, educational, family, and psychological services for individuals of all ages, including the introduction of a "Play Therapy Room" aimed at helping children rebuild their self-confidence. Additionally, the department will present several new publications focused on family-related issues.

Al Shehhi elaborated that the "Play Therapy Room" serves as a secure environment where children can articulate their thoughts, imagination, and emotions. This setting enables psychologists to identify any challenges the child may be facing, as well as any imbalances they might have encountered, thereby facilitating the development of a tailored treatment plan designed to restore their self-esteem.

Furthermore, Al Shehhi highlighted that the department has produced several new publications that address the developmental needs of families and aim to enhance community awareness.

Additionally, the department will participate in the interactive game titled "Your Life is in Your Hands: How Will You Balance It?" This game assists individuals in achieving equilibrium among various life demands, encompassing religious, financial, professional, and health-related needs. Through this process, participants can discern which areas exceed their capacity and receive guidance on how to attain balance through moderation across these essential aspects of their lives.
