Committee on Mental Health

Mental Health Care for Migrants and Ethnic Minorities: Discussion

Ms Emilia Marchelewska:

We have two Ukrainian outreach workers who assist people in such situations as that. Sometimes it means interpreting all night at a hospital during a blood transfusion. We have many dedicated workers and these two outreach workers work alongside the HSE. If we were to build from the examples of good practice that already exist, we would build a much better system.
