    Bradford health service gives hope to refugees and asylum seekers

    Monday, 12 June 2017 16:00

    An inner city GP practice which cares for some of the most disadvantaged patients in Bradford is helping to improve the future lives of refugee and asylum children through an innovative mental health scheme.

    Bevan Healthcare has developed a programme – Sharing Stories, Building Hope – which focuses on helping children who have fled their war-torn homelands to become more resilient and to flourish, supporting them to make friends, do well at school and sleep well.

    The practice has said that the programme has seen children grow in confidence and become more settled

    Bradford has become one of the northern hubs for receiving refugee families through Home Office schemes such as the vulnerable person’s relocation scheme (VPRS) and the Gateway Protection Programme (GPP).

    In the last three years, Bevan Healthcare alone has received 650 refugees as new patients from these programmes.
