Article Synopsis
- Refugees face high rates of mental disorders but low access to treatment due to barriers like language, culture, and lack of information about healthcare services; the project "Fearless" aimed to overcome these challenges by training therapists and support staff.
- Interviews with 13 therapists participating in the project revealed that they encountered bureaucratic challenges, organizational issues, and varying client motivation, which affected their willingness to treat refugees.
- Despite these challenges, most therapists found the experience enriching and expressed a desire to continue working with refugee clients, indicating a need for reduced bureaucratic hurdles and better organizational support.
