MHealth4All is a digital platform to support migrants and refugees with their mental health. It is available in 15 languages. The Polish version was developed by researchers from the Institute of Applied Linguistics at the UW.
The MentalHealth4All platform (www.mentalhealth4all.eu) was developed as part of the three-year project MHealth4All: Development and implementation of a digital platform for the promotion of access to mental healthcare for low language proficient third-country nationals in Europe, co-funded by the EU’s Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).
The interdisciplinary project involved 13 partners from nine countries, including universities and NGOs. The team included experts in intercultural communication, interpretation, clinical and social psychology, psychiatry and migrant support.
The Polish language version of the platform was developed by researchers from the Institute of Applied Linguistics at the University of Warsaw: Prof. Łucja Biel, Prof. Agnieszka Biernacka, Dr Urszula Okulska-Łukawska, Dr Katarzyna Czarnocka-Gołębiewska and Dr Aleksandra Kalata-Zawłocka.
The newly launched MentalHealth4All platform contains information material on mental health, healthcare systems and mental health support centres in different European countries. It is based on interviews with refugees, migrants and social workers, translators, cultural mediators, psychologists and psychiatrists.
