Care for refugees

 

For many years we have been meeting and working with asylum seekers and refugees offering our service as clinical psychologists. It often happens that we suggest breathing and relaxation exercises during a counselling session and that people are interested in hearing more about them.
People have expressed how much they valued these exercises however they have also shared with us that they struggled to integrate them into their daily life or to apply them when they most needed them. These experiences prompted the idea to record breathing and relaxation exercises in different languages and to make them accessible in digital format to asylum seekers and refugees. Considering that most people nowadays own a phone that allows them to download digital files, we have shared both the texts and audio files on our website.
