Migration is increasingly essential to Portugal's economy, but the mental health of many new arrivals to the country is affected by the trauma of what they have left behind, long and arduous journeys, and the racism that greets them, fuelled by far-right rhetoric. In addition, mental health treatment is often impeded by cultural and linguistic barriers.
At the Ismaili Centre in Lisbon, a small team is prepping for the organisation's outreach work. Their aim is to gather information on the mental health and wellbeing of migrants, as part of a project called What Health.
