“One of the best features of this project is that the community psychosocial workers are #refugees themselves. As we often share similar stories, culture & language, refugees have an easier time confiding in us,” explains Ayat, working @EPAPSY to promote #mentalhealth
“I help #refugees by listening to their stories & identifying the services they need to get better,” says Ayat, a refugee community #psychosocial worker. Ahead of International #MigrantsDay she speaks about her work 👉 https://t.co/Wim3PZc6OE

Travel restrictions in response to the #COVID19 pandemic meant many migrants suddenly found themselves unable to access healthcare & treatment.

#HealthForAll
Today is International #MigrantsDay! The #COVID19 pandemic has severely affected migrants, many of whom have found themselves in precarious positions & sometimes separated from family. #WeTogether
We can learn so much by listening to ‘experts by experience’ – ordinary citizens who contribute to better health in the Region every day.
To mark #MigrantsDay, @hans_kluge spoke with anesthesiology nurse Julia, who moved from 🇧🇾 to work in 🇷🇺
