On Thursday, April 10, the PHAROS project partners came together for a productive online meeting focused on the development of our very first project output – the Lay Mental Health Counsellor Curriculum for Migrant Learners.
This comprehensive 30-hour training programme is designed to empower migrants to support their peers by combining 3 hours of face-to-face learning with 2 hours of self-paced online study in each module.
Each partner is leading the creation of one of the six curriculum modules, which together will build knowledge, confidence, and practical skills around mental health. Curious about what’s included? Here’s a sneak peek at the six module titles:
- Introduction to Mental Health
- Common Mental Health Disorders
- Trauma-Informed Care
- Access to Mental Health Services
- Self-Care for Advisors
- Mindfulness and Self-Care for Migrants and Refugees
Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this important resource to life!
