Participatory access to trauma-informed mental health care for migrant children
PORTAL builds clear routes from the places migrant children already trust to the mental health care they need, in eight European countries.
Clear routes from trusted places to the right care
For migrant children and their carers, getting mental health support means crossing health, child protection, education, asylum and social services at once. Each has its own procedures and its own language, and the links between them are often missing.
PORTAL brings practitioners, migrant communities and policymakers together to share trauma-informed practices that already work, design local access pathways, and offer children support that matches their needs.
