SalaryAbout Room to Heal
Room to Heal is an established therapeutic community in London. We support refugees and people seeking asylum, many of whom are torture survivors, through an integrated programme of therapeutic and casework assistance, in the context of a community of survivors. Our approach recognises the political context of our community members' multiple and ongoing experiences of trauma and marginalisation including in their home country, on their journey to, and within, the UK. We offer long term and holistic support.
Room to Heal’s group resilience model is respectful of different cultural approaches to mental health and it challenges the patient-expert model, putting refugees at the heart of their healing journey.
We are a small team of committed and hard working individuals who work collaboratively in a supportive and friendly environment.
