Nexus Think Tank is the independent research and policy unit of Druze Nexus, dedicated to supporting social sustainability and the well-being of Druze communities. It focuses on evidence-based analysis of developments affecting Druze regions and the diaspora, and translates this into clear, structured outputs to inform policy, programming, and public discussion.

Non-profit and non-partisan, the Think Tank operates under the oversight of an independent Policy & Research Council and follows an evidence-driven approach grounded in clearly cited sources and transparent methods. It produces concise analyses, policy briefs, and practical recommendations for community partners, Druze Nexus National Chapters, and international bodies such as humanitarian organizations, policymakers, and researchers.

Reserving the soul of our culture and heritage requires the restoration of our community’s capacity through promoting and maintaining mental health and faith in a bright future. 

Our team’s efforts focus on investing in our people and providing the training and tools to increase their collective capacity through multiple projects:

Mental Health First Aid Training:

Mental health support can start with trained mental health first aid providers within our community. Our training focuses on The Pillars of Mental Health, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Neuroplasticity, The Cognitive Triangle, Trauma informed practice, responses to Trauma, PTSD, Mental health signs of concern, Mental Health First Aid Protocol, and related activities. 

Mental Health Support Groups:

Our team of providers meets weekly to share knowledge and skills, and we invite guest speakers to present their expertise on relevant topics; some of the topics already covered include The Effects of Trauma on Children, Trauma and Geriatric Neurological Conditions, The Power of Story Telling, Narrative Therapy, and more.

Music Therapy Sessions:

Our talented team of young artists provide music therapy sessions to heal the soul to families mental health providers, and displaced victims.

Exciting Next Steps:

Youth Mentorship Program:

The most effective change in a society comes from within; we support our youth and connect them with the world through a mentoring program that aims to improve their skills by sharing knowledge and realizing the power of education to transform a society one member at a time.
