Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to participate in the upcoming training program, Multicultural Psychological Counseling Services in the context of Psychosocial Aspects of Migration (PAM), organized by Stichting USED Amsterdam Social Enterprise Agency in the Netherlands. 

Migration, a global phenomenon driven by economic crises, wars, and conflicts, presents complex challenges, especially in the context of cultural adaptation. Individuals from diverse backgrounds often find themselves in new societies, facing language barriers, social isolation, and educational challenges. These difficulties can lead to mental health problems, emphasizing the need for effective multicultural counseling services.

In response to these challenges, Stichting USED Amsterdam Social Enterprise Agency has developed the PAM project. This initiative aims to equip youth workers with essential multicultural counseling knowledge and skills. Through this training, participants will delve into language training, psycho-social adaptation, and cultural understanding, fostering their ability to support individuals navigating the complexities of post-migration life.

- Participants: 48 youth workers, 2 trainers, and 2 facilitators

- Language: English (working language)

Participants will receive reimbursement for travel expenses upon submission of tickets and boarding passes. Travel costs (flights and other means of transportation) will be reimbursed based on actual expenses. Payments will be processed on the last day of the project. Accommodation, living expenses, and all project-related costs will be covered, funded by the European Union.
