Committee on Mental Health

Mental Health Care for Migrants and Ethnic Minorities: Discussion

Ms Sue Windle:

It is very simple. It is essentially saying to someone that they did really well to get here, rather than telling them that they have all the abbreviations, such as PTSD, etc. It is a matter of looking at how well they did, rather than framing it by saying to them that it is really unfortunate that they are not resilient.
