| Attendees of the Mental Health 1st Aid workshop organised by SRCF and Cares of Life |
SRCF and Cares of Life organised a two-day training course on supporting people with mental health problems for representatives
of refugee communities. The course aimed at increasing awareness of mental health in order to tackle discrimination
and stigma, while giving precious information on how to recognise and understand depression, anxiety and psychoses. Participants
were then instructed on how to provide first aid support to help people in a situation of mental distress.

Anxiety, Stress and Self-confidence Workshop SRCF
organised a workshop in partnership with Southwark and Lambeth Primary Care Trust aiming at providing refugees with creative
ways to cope with the stress and anxiety caused by adapting to living in a foreign country and a new culture. In
order to find solutions to manage difficult situations, the workshop used a new interactive and creative approach allowing
participants to engage with each other in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. As women are particularly exposed
to stress because of the change in family dynamics that are implied, SRCF encouraged the participation of women to the workshop.
