”Inclusive Minds: Migrant women’s mental health” is a project co-funded by the Erasmus+, the EU’s programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe.

The project aims to enrich the lives of migrant women aged 40 to 60 across Europe. Through creative tools like board games and by organizing workshops and community events, the initiative seeks to improve mental health and foster connections, building bridges of understanding and inclusion.

Migrant women, particularly those who are middle-aged or older, face significant challenges upon arriving in Europe. These challenges include limited language proficiency, weaker social networks, and heavy childcare and family responsibilities. They often struggle with communication, social integration, and the overwhelming demands of their new environment. Despite often having experienced trauma, their well-being is frequently overlooked, making mental health support essential for their inclusion. Addressing these needs through accessible and informal means is crucial for their successful integration into European society.

The project aims to make a real difference in the lives of migrant women by addressing the social, cultural, and psychological factors that contribute to their well-being. Through interactive, innovative, and inclusive approaches, the project strives to empower women, promote social inclusion, and foster a sense of belonging within their new communities. This is not just a project but a commitment to improving these women’s lives and positively impacting European society.
