This webinar speaks to some of the experiences of migrants and refugees living in Ireland. Looking at some of the challenges faced, the complexity of the experiences when you're far from home whether by choice or not. There can be feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, loss and grief for many while there can also be moments of happiness and joy. The variety of emotions can sometimes conflict with one another, leaving us unsure where to go from here. This webinars looks at ways we can support ourselves and perhaps support others who are a long way from home.

Panel:
• Emilia Marchelewska, Health Advocacy Officer, Cairde
• Kateryna Chudnenko, Ukrainian Psychotherapist residing in Ireland
• Stephen McBride, Director of Services at Aware and Chartered Counselling Psychologist & Group Psychotherapist
