Can we heal the scars of the heart together? “Prepared together by the Korean Refugee Mental Health Promotion Council and sponsored by the Korea Foundation for Mental Health”
[Refugee Mental Health Symposium] “Connection for Recovery, Sustainable Support” Refugees have left their homeland amid war and conflict. What troubles them most is not only an unfamiliar environment. It is the deep wounds in the heart left by past trauma and anxiety about the future. The Korean Society of Women’s Psychiatry has prepared an occasion to view refugee mental health not as the pain of one individual but as a task our community must solve together.
Part 1 | Hearing about refugee mental health in the voices of those directly affected Refugees themselves tell of life after violence and war, and of the journey toward recovery.
Part 2 | Challenges of refugee mental health support seen in the field Field activists and medical staff gather to share practical examples of support and to explore a sustainable support system together.
