Community mental healthcare for migrants

Nikos Gionakis , Stelios Stylianidis

pp. 309-329

This chapter discusses the relationship between migration and mental health, as it is illustrated in the way trends are formulated, in the field of relevant research on the one hand and, on the other, in the recommendations offered for the mental health of migrants on the other. The second part deals with the basic organisational and operational aspects of a mental health unit for migrants, the Babel Day Centre (Athens, Greece), and presents the challenges that its multidisciplinary team faces along with the ways it attempts to manage them. Upon completion of this chapter, the reader will have received ample stimuli for reflection on the important issue of service provision to migrants.
