Behavioral health care includes care for patients around mental health and substance abuse conditions, health behavior change, life stresses and crises, and stress-related physical symptoms. Mental and substance use disorders alone are estimated to surpass all physical diseases as a major cause of worldwide disability by 2020. There is a 50 to hundred-percent rise in depression and anxiety amongst people who have to migrate forcibly, people who are refugees. (WHO, 2016). There is no more clear call for more focus on mental health supports for refugee communities moving forward.
The Refugee Healing Partnership is focused on addressing refugee risk factors and strengthening mental health partnerships in communities where refugees resettle. The partnership designs and disseminates programs and activities that:
- Promote positive mental health and cultural adjustment in the refugee community Create linkages between provider communities and the refugee communities
- Provide opportunities for trauma-informed education at the community level and culture-informed education at the provider level
WHAT’S NEW IN THE INITIATIVE?
