Empowerment and Well-being for FINTA* in displacement

Due to migration experiences, refugees & asylum seekers are at particular risk of mental health issues & low subjective well being. Evidence shows that women forced to flee war, persecution or violence experience acute anxiety & stress, alongside the pandemic promoting risk factors for domestic violence & depression.

hildashaus strongly believes in the need for an “Empowerment and Well-being program” due to the link between mental health & economic empowerment.

The program started in summer 2021, with activities on how to work with body, emotion & mind such as:

• Self defence

• Art as a self-care practice

• Gentle movement based on Trauma Sensitive Yoga

• Self massage based on Shiatsu
