Your home is important. It provides a refuge from the outside world and is the place where you welcome your family and friends. Home is where you can relax, be yourself and feel secure.
Except it's not like that for everyone.

If you are unable to get out and about regularly, perhaps because you are frail or disabled, or you are caring for someone else, your home may start feeling like your prison.

Instead of feeling isolated and lonely, why not find out if there are any befriending schemes or lunch clubs in your area? Even if your own family lives miles away - or in a different country - there are lots of people, often living alone and in a similar situation, who would enjoy your company.

If you have internet access, you might think about making friends online or joining one or more of the many online forums.

If you're able to get out and about, there are plenty of ways to make new friends including groups and clubs and other activities.

Perhaps you are feeling unhappy because other people are making decisions for you and are not listening to what you want. If this is the case, there are people called 'advocates' who can help you make sure your voice heard.

You might be living with someone who is controlling or being violent or aggressive towards you. Perhaps you have been sexually assaulted or asked to do things that make you feel uncomfortable. If you are being abused or you think someone's behaviour towards you might be abusive, it's important to seek help. Remember, there are many organisations which can help. If you are in immediate danger, always call 999.

No-one can be happy at home all the time, but there is plenty you can do to stop you feeling unhappy.

Resources for Professionals who support Asylum Seekers and Refugees

Advancing the Rights and Well-Being of Asylum Seekers and Refugees

It is with great pleasure that I introduce this online resource hub, funded by Health Education England under the Mary Seacole Leadership awards for the year 2016-2017.

The online resource hub aims to provide accessible and up-to-date information on the rights and well-being of asylum seekers and refugees. Its development was underpinned by a literature review and empirical research based on an action research approach. The respondents were professionals with extensive experience in working with asylum seekers and refugees; some of them were former refugees themselves. They explored and identified the key challenges and solutions related to the complex needs of asylum seekers and refugees and suggested the resources required to support and advance their rights and well-being. The concepts identified were categorised into themes, which were used for organising the contents of the hub. The hub therefore provides information on the plight and health concerns of refugees and asylum seekers. It also highlights the policy changes and the services available to them. As a result, it enhances knowledge and good practice in promoting the health and well-being of refugees and asylum seekers.

Project lead
Philomène Uwamaliya, Mary Seacole Leadership Awardee for the year 2016-2017 and Senior Lecturer of Mental Health Nursing at Liverpool John Moores University, School of Nursing and Allied Health. A special thank you to various individuals and organisations; Acknowledgements are included here.

# data[].attributes.body
Our Voices: Stories of Carers from Migrant and Refugee Backgrounds, is a beautifully crafted series of five short videos offering rare and profound insight into the lives of carers from migrant and refugee backgrounds, caring for family with mental illness.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Stories of Carers from Refugee and Migrant Backgrounds.

Each narrative is told in the carer's original language, and has been subtitled in English. Each narrative has also been voice dubbed into the five community languages, Arabic, Vietnamese, Turkish, Dari and Somali, and these videos are available on DVD from Victorian Transcultural Mental Health.

Click on the images below to watch each narrative in its original language and subtitled in English.

The films explore the lives of five carers from Afghani, Egyptian, Somali, Turkish and Vietnamese communities. The carers speak independently, yet collectively, of common difficulties encountered in advocating for culturally sensitive and culturally-responsive mental health care and the benefits of seeking support. The stories of the carers have been uniquely captured via the collaboration and support of many leading mental health, carer and multi-cultural organisations (see these below) and produced by the Australian film house, Digital Black.

VTMH would like to thank all the individual storytellers, their families and friends, the film-makers, Digital Black, support workers and everyone who contributed to the making of this extraordinary project. The participants and organisers hope it encourages people to seek support and to share their experiences.

Ordering a copy of the DVD

A limited number of hard copies of the DVDs were produced to coincide with the launch of this resource in October 2014. Hard copies of the DVD series, complete with an information kit about the project, can be requested. Expressions of interest will also help identify demand and potential for pursuing options for further print runs. You can register your interest in ordering hard copy of the DVDs by clicking the button below.
