    Overview

    I am part of a civic engagement research group with the department of Psychology. We launched a mental health and well-being portal a year ago. We have continued to develop this project with funding from the London's Scholar and was able to conduct a four day workshop for students who wanted to be trained in becoming interpreters for refugees.  I continue to liaise with a number of community groups in Newham to set of links with community groups and refugees.
