Psychosocial support
Iguality offers free psychosocial support to individuals and communities in marginalised situations and that do not have access to (paid) mental health services easily.
We do this from the strong belief that mental health care should be accessible for all. Read more about our services on this page and request support, or join as us a volunteer.
For whom are our services available?
We aim to support anyone at risk of social inclusion and who cannot afford professional mental health care through private services and/or who cannot access the general health system due to limited availability or lack of documentation, including but not limited to:
Refugee communities
(Undocumented) migrant communities
Economically-deprived communities
LGBTQ+ communities
Victims of domestic violence
Othes at risk of social exclusion
If someone is considered not to be eligible to the services of the program, Iguality will always try to send alternative options to receive support, which is also why we work with other NGOs offering comparable support. In general, we don’t work with:
Cases of strong psychiatric disorders
Cases of violent (verbal or physical) behaviour
Cases of disinterest in the offered support
What can we help with?
Our volunteer therapists can provide support and assistance in improving various challenges one may face, such as:
Anxiety
Anxiety is a persistent state of excessive worry, fear, or unease that can manifest as physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms.
Identity issues
Identity issues involve feeling uncertain or confused about who you are, including your gender, sexuality, cultural background, or personal beliefs.
Insecurity
Insecurity is a feeling of self-doubt, lack of confidence, or uncertainty about oneself and one’s abilities, often leading to a fear of judgment or rejection by others.
Loneliness
Loneliness is the feeling of being by yourself and longing for companionship, which can make you feel sad and like something is missing in your life.
Sadness
Sadness or depression is a strong and lasting feeling of being really down and not finding joy in things, sometimes making you lose interest in other things in life.
