Description

Join us as we host Mrs Denise Wright from NI Refugee and Asylum Forum.

This workshop will cover the challenges faced by people who arrive here to seek sanctuary and explore how we as communities, organisations and individuals can play a role in welcoming and supporting people to rebuild their lives in Northern Ireland.

It will be an excellent opportunity to further your own professional (and maybe private) understanding of asylum seekers, the issues they face in our society and what as healthcare professional we can do.
