Psychosocial support (MHPSS)
We provide professional weekly mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) both online and in-person. Our services are designed for individuals facing specific vulnerabilities who lack the resources to access private mental health care.
Delivered by professional therapists, our consistent, high-quality care aims to relieve stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues through a maximum of 15 sessions. Additionally, our support is holistic, encompassing social work and strong collaboration with other organisations.
For whom is our support?
We aim to support anyone at risk of social exclusion in or around Barcelona, and who cannot access professional mental health care through private or public health services due to insufficient economic resources, limited availability and/or lack of documentation, including but not limited to:
Refugees and migrant communities
LGBTQ+ communities
Vulnerable youth
Others at risk of social exclusion
Important information
Before requesting our support, please ensure you are aware of the above and also meet the following requirements:
You’re older than 18
You don’t have any other option to receive mental health care
You’re motivated to start a process with weekly sessions (up to 15 in total)
You’re located in or around Barcelona
If someone is considered not to be eligible to the services of the program, we will always try to send alternative options to receive support.
What can’t we help with?
Apart from the requirements mentioned earlier, there are some specific exceptions when we can’t support, where where we will try to refer people somewhere else:
Cases of strong psychiatric disorders
Cases of violent (verbal or physical) behaviour
Cases of disinterest in the offered support
Cases of heavy (post traumatic) trauma
What else is included in our support?
We believe that mental health is interconnected with all areas in life, and we therefore offer more than just therapy and psychosocial support sessions for those who are receiving our care, based on availability.
Sports activities
Weekly football and other activities to foster inclusion and wellbeing through sports.
Physiotherapy
Sessions to improve physical and mental wellbeing and work on a healthy lifestyle.
LGBTIQ support
Through our partner ACATHI we refer to specialised LGBTIQ support if desired.
Legal advice
With help from an experienced lawyer some basic legal advice can be offered.
How to request support?
You can request psychosocial support through our form. We will get back to you within 14 to 21 days after carefully reviewing your request. Please keep in mind that we receive many requests and our current waiting time is 1-4 months. Before starting support, we will carry out a short screening call with you to understand your situation better.
