Camden is currently welcoming a number of Afghan evacuees for support from the Council, such as housing, health care, food and education (see Asylum Seekers and Refugees - Camden Council). The support team works with Pashto and Dari interpreters.
Different services and agencies provide welcome support for particular groups of newcomers, including unaccompanied minors, refugees and asylum-seekers and migrant workers. For instance, Camden Council commissions offer additional therapeutic support for emotional difficulties and trauma experienced by unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. This is provided through group discussion and support run by the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
The Hearing Voices project by Mind in Camden has supported refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who hear voices, see visions and experience distressing beliefs, with a focus on people who are detained in Immigration Removal Centres, and young refugees, asylum seekers and migrants.
Support to access employment, including support for the Roma community, is provided as part of Camden’s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy.
The Connection at St-Marin-In-The-Fields works with people who are rough sleeping to move away from, and stay off, the streets of London and provided a guide for homeless migrants.
