#Ukraine Destitution and homelessness: the situation of vulnerable Ukrainian beneficiaries of temporary protection

Caring to Include

Caring to Include is a project that supports refugees, migrants, and their helpers. We create trauma-informed resources, provide training, and build a community of practice across Europe.

This three-year project titled Caring to Include coordinated by the Dutch Council for Refugees includes six European partner organisations from Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Malta and the Hungarian Helsinki Committee from Hungary. The project aims to reduce the negative effects of trauma and other stressors on the social inclusion of refugees and migrants. At the same time, this initiative will also improve the mental health of NGO staff and volunteers working with these vulnerable groups.

During this project, we will create a sustainable Community of Practice (CoP) for NGOs across Europe to share knowledge and expertise on trauma-informed support for refugees and migrants and staff care of NGOs working in the refugee field.

In addition, we will develop two toolkits that address mental health and self-care for NGO staff and volunteers and trauma-informed and culturally sensitive methods to support refugees and migrants. In the same context, the toolkits will help organising training and exchange programmes to improve service delivery. We will ensure long-term implementation of these best practices in participating organisations.

Project duration: 1 November 2024 – 31 October 2027

This project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
