As Fotaki (2019) argues, the current political climate in Europe is threatening principles of humanitarianism, particularly among refugees and asylum seekers. This commentary builds on that argument, with a spotlight on mental health and culturally relevant service design. By addressing some of the barriers faced by refugees and asylum seekers in accessing mental healthcare, we can address inequalities and develop compassionate societies.
正如 Fotaki(2019)所指出的,欧洲当前的政治氛围正在威胁人道主义原则,尤其是对难民和寻求庇护者而言。本文以此为背景,重点探讨心理健康和文化相关服务设计。通过解决难民和寻求庇护者在获得精神保健方面所面临的一些障碍,我们可以解决不平等问题,建设富有同情心的社会。
