Renfrewshire Council Refugee Resettlement – Health & Wellbeing
About Renfrewshire Council Refugee Resettlement – Health & Wellbeing
Befriending within Refugee Resettlement is a strand of our developing Health and Wellbeing Project which provides psychosocial support to our community in solidarity through tailored, person-centred, programming.
The Health and Wellbeing Project aims to improve the social, psychological, and emotional wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities who are Refugees in Renfrewshire. Through person-centred befriending we aim to support our community to build stronger relationships in the local area, decrease social isolation, improve wellbeing, and advocate for meaningful integration in Scotland.
