The RESILIA – Resilient Mental Health and Empowerment for migrant and displaced women in Vulnerable Contexts tackles the mental health challenges faced by migrant and displaced women in vulnerable situations, including victims of human trafficking and of violence as well as refugees and asylum seekers.
Running from 2025 to 2028 and implemented across Portugal, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Bulgaria, the project adopts trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and gender-responsive approaches to address the specific needs of these women. RESILIA’s primary objective is to equip EU Member States with evidence-based knowledge, tools, and scalable practices to improve mental health policies and systems. By addressing structural barriers, stigma, and discrimination, the project promotes inclusive and prevention-oriented frameworks aligned with EU strategies.
At the heart of RESILIA is the understanding that without trauma-informed care and psychological support, there can be no meaningful reintegration or genuine support for those who have experienced violence, coercion, or displacement.
By addressing the unique challenges faced by migrant and displaced women, RESILIA fosters systemic resilience and social justice, raising awareness and empowering stakeholders to advance sustainable mental health solutions across Europe.
La Strada International, its members – PAG-ASA, CCEM, MIST and Animus Foundation – join Instituto PIAGET in implementing this EU-funded initiative under EU4Health.
