On June 29, together with people who work for the human rights of refugees and migrants, we took the first step toward forming the “Mental Health Advancement for Refugees in Korea (한국난민정신건강증진협의체)” (MHARK)!
MHARK brings together mental health professionals and nonprofit activists, and it plans to carry out projects for “the mental health advancement of refugees.” On the same day, from 3 PM to 6 PM, a symposium on the theme “A New Integrated Model for the Mental Health of Refugees and Migrants” was also held, with activists belonging to MHARK and psychiatrists taking part.
MAP will do its best, together with our colleagues, to advance the mental health of refugees and migrants and to expand their access to mental health care.
