Upcoming event: Promoting the psychosocial wellbeing of refugees

What’s happening at Europe’s borders isn’t just a political issue — it’s a human one.And the cost is devastating.

Across the UK and Europe, refugees and asylum seekers are facing conditions that are severely impacting their mental health and psychosocial wellbeing.

This is urgent. It’s systemic. And it’s something we can — and must — change.

That’s why United Against Inhumanity (UAI) and the University of East London (UEL) are bringing together leading voices, practitioners, and advocates for a powerful evening of insight, discussion, and action.
