Webinar Overview

Migration is a global phenomenon, which is not a new fact, it exists as long as human beings. Today, in many countries there is a focus on people with migration and refugee background and it is discussed controversially. At the same time, mental health problems are a major cause of global and societal stress and are a growing public health concern. Migrants and refugees are at risk of receiving poorer quality healthcare due, in part, to racist and discriminatory attitudes, behaviours and policies in the health system. Furthermore, despite fleeing war and conflict; exposure to torture and traumatic events and living with uncertainty; these people are at high-risk of experiencing long-term poor physical and mental health outcomes in their host country. Several studies have highlighted the negative impact of racial discrimination on mental health, particularly in relation to the development of affective, psychotic, and substance use disorders.

Led by Prof. Meryam Schouler-Ocak (Germany), Chair of the EPA Committee on Ethical Issues, this webinar will delve into the complex mental health challenges faced by people with migration and refugee backgrounds in Europe. Prof. Schouler-Ocak, an esteemed expert in this field, will guide the discussion, bringing together leading voices to explore potential solutions, joined by two recognised experts: Prof. Marianne Kastrup and Prof. Dinesh Bhugra.

Join us for this important discussion to better understand and address the mental health challenges faced by migrants and refugees in Europe.
