Lebanese family psychotherapist Valerie Daou spoke to Vatican media about the challenges families face in war zones during a meeting dedicated to Amoris Laetitia.

Daou described how conflict affects communication, noting that conversations often stop when the first words heard are condemnations. She emphasized that the Church must listen to young people and help them face fear so they do not feel alone, even if the Church does not have all the answers.
