Event Overview:

The Hope for Better Future Self-Development Programme invites migrant women to a vital and empowering session on the Psycho-Social Challenges of Migrant Women, facilitated by Tagwa Hamed, a medical professional with extensive experience in mental health and psycho-social care. This session will focus on understanding the unique physical and emotional challenges that migrant women face when settling into a new culture and society.
Migrant women often encounter significant stressors, including trauma from displacement, cultural adaptation, isolation, and the pressures of new societal expectations. These challenges can affect both their mental and physical health. Through this programme, participants will gain insights into how migration impacts their overall well-being and how to effectively address these challenges to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Session Highlights:

Understanding the Psycho-Social Impact of Migration on Health:
Drawing from her medical background, Tagwa will explore the combined psychological and physical toll migration can take, addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. She will provide an overview of how these issues manifest in the migrant experience and offer practical advice for managing them.
Breaking the Isolation Cycle:
Migration often leads to social isolation. Learn how to build social networks, foster connections within your community, and develop supportive relationships that combat loneliness and create a sense of belonging.
Cultural Identity and Emotional Well-being:
With a deep understanding of both medical and psychological impacts, Tagwa will guide participants on how to reconcile multiple cultural identities while maintaining their mental and emotional health. This includes navigating the stress of cultural differences and building emotional resilience.
Practical Health and Well-being Strategies:
Participants will learn medical and psychological strategies to address the physical and emotional stress of migration, including self-care techniques, stress management, mindfulness practices, and how to access healthcare resources available to migrant communities.
Accessing Health and Support Resources:
Tagwa will provide information on local healthcare services, community support groups, and resources specifically tailored to migrant women. Knowing where to seek help can make a significant difference in emotional well-being and overall health.
