Touchstone and PAFRAS collaborated on action research project last year, looking at the mental health needs and experiences of refugees and asylum seekers in Leeds.
We are proud to publish the final report – which contains the findings and actions of the action learning sets, and priorities for action, based on analysis of lived experiences of refugees and asylum seekers in Leeds.
The findings, conclusions and recommendations for action can be found on pages 20-25 of the report and have already been fed into both the Black and Minority Ethnic Mental Health Strategic Group, and the Mental Health Commissioning process. They have provided the evidence base for new work in this area, which we hope to announce very soon.
