Episode 6: Trauma

On today’s episode I am joined by Angeliki and Kasun from the Helen Bamber Foundation. The Helen Bamber Foundation is a Human Rights Charity giving survivors of torture and trafficking the strength to move on through therapy, legal protection, medical advice, housing, help with integration and other services.

We talked about the intricate and complex web that makes up NHS mental health care, and how easy it is for migrants - particularly vulnerable people fleeing trauma and cruelty - to fall through the cracks as they are moved around the country, face language barriers or encounter services that struggle to build a sense of trust and safety. 

We chatted about different ways of understanding mental health around the world, and the ways practitioners could adapt their services to better meet the needs of refugees and migrants.
