Safe Spaces

Thanks to the cooperation and training received from AMNA, an organisation that supports refugees in their mental wellbeing journey, NOVE created ‘Safe Spaces’. This is a trusted and protected platform where Afghans can share their feelings and needs, guided by an experienced Afghan facilitator. By adopting a non-clinical approach, Safe Spaces has promoted the mental well-being of 32 Afghan refugees and contributed to their social integration in their host communities. The activity, running from April to August 2022, 1) provided a safe space for reflection and self-reflection through the use of ‘collective healing’ tools and 2) contributed to participant well-being by promoting self-care.
