Support for mental health is a critical yet often unmet need among people who are homeless or experiencing insecure housing conditions.
This training session will feature representatives from local charities Displaced and Hearts and Helpers, who will provide two very different perspectives on supporting people who are facing homelessness with their mental health needs, including refugees and migrants.
Janis Furneaux from Hearts and Helpers, based in Ponders End, will detail how the organisation works at a grassroots level, providing informal support to help clients with their mental health issues.
Zey Binboga from Displaced will highlight the mental health challenges that migrants and refugees experience due to the trauma of being displaced while typically being in insecure housing and dealing with cultural differences.
