A Word from Father Wasfy

“It’s an honour to be recognized as a DCP and as a national award recipient. These milestones remind me that healing is both a personal journey and a collective responsibility. Whether I’m offering therapy, supervision, or community education, my goal is the same: to serve with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and clinical integrity.”
