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

Z

You’re motivated to start a process with weekly sessions (up to 15 in total)

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.
