Routes to Wellness: Co Production Impact and Future of Peer Support Work for Refugee Mental Health
I edited the 'Routes to Wellness' film: a research project that co-designed a peer-led community approach to support the mental health of refugees. Collating researchers and public contributors testimonials into a 17 minute long film. The film explores what the project is, the importance of mental health and peer support for refugees and asylum seekers, individuals experiences of participating in the workshops, the projects impact on public contributors lives, the challenges of this kind of research and an insight into what's next.
