Face to face: a mentoring project for forced migrants

Abstract

Forced migrants (refugees and asylum seekers) are very vulnerable to mental health problems, and their difficulties are often made worse by the migration process itself. David Palmer describes a unique project, based in west London, that trains migrant qualified doctors to provide mentoring support to fellow refugees and asylum seekers experiencing mental distress.
