This week we speak to the wonderful Kalyani McCarthy from British Red Cross. Kalyani leads on ‘Surviving to Thriving’ – a brilliant project that supports young unaccompanied refugees and asylum seekers. She speaks about how isolation over the past weeks has impacted mental health, which for many is already very fragile due to the past experiences that they have faced. Kalyani also speaks about the importance of involving young people and keeping them at the heart of decision making. Finally, she talks about how the simple things can be the most effective, such as sending care packages, and being creative with online sessions. Visit our website to find out more about the work of the British Red Cross and how you can support them. Enjoy!
