3.3 Module 3
Refugee and Asylum Seekers Mental Health & Wellbeing
This third module tutorial is presented by therapist Fiona Lothian.
The text pages that follow highlight key points from Fiona’s tutorial for you to work through or return to for reference as needed.
There are many stressful factors that need to be navigated in order to claim asylum in the UK and to to procure a safe place to live.
Understandably, all of these factors present a heavy burden on a person’s mental health and wellbeing, let alone the difficulties and traumas they have already experienced in their country of origin.
In this module, we look closer at the factors impacting asylum seeker mental health and wellbeing.
