Engaging with young Afghan refugees and asylum seekers to promote emotional health and wellbeing
The overall aim of the Afghan Youth Engagement (Jawanan) project is to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of young Afghan refugees and asylum seekers in the South East Melbourne catchment. Using a participatory action research approach, the following four objectives will guide the direction and activities of the project over the next 12 months:
1. Development of culturally appropriate youth community engagement strategies and resources that will promote the emotional health and wellbeing of young Afghan refugees and asylum seekers.
2. Development of culturally appropriate care pathways that will improve access to, and use of, headspace Dandenong for young Afghan refugees and asylum seekers.
3. Development of strategies that will build the capacity and expertise of headspace Dandenong staff in providing support and/or treatment services to young Afghan refugee and asylum seekers.
4. Development of a transferrable framework for engaging with hard to reach refugee and asylum seeker communities that can be applied in other headspace centres across Australia
