Health and Wellbeing

People from a migrant or refugee background often struggle to deal with past traumas, stress and the uncertainty of resettlement – putting them at a higher risk of mental health issues.

Having worked with generations of migrants in WA, we realise how important it is to get the right support at the right time.

Our experienced team offers a range of migrant mental health services, as well as cultural sensitivity training for partner service providers to better engage with and assist people from a migrant or refugee background.
