We are a migrant-led community organisation which tackles health inequality by developing the emotional understanding and confidence of young migrants and their families.
Reach of Workshops and Programme in 23/24
What’s the issue?
We use our culturally equitable, trauma-informed approach through:
Education
These workshops aim to educate young people and their parents on the indicators and preventative measures for risks such as radicalisation.
Coaching
These sessions create an emotionally safe space where young people can speak about their experiences and develop their
socio-emotional skills. Our intergenerational coaching includes addressing communication breakdowns with parents and carers.
Community Building
These events are where we facilitate discussion which develop empathy and understanding between our community and decision makers from local organisations and statutory services.
