In Indonesia, volunteers, activists, and refugee communities have been working together for years to support and protect refugee rights.

However, only approximately 1000 refugees currently have access to irregular psycho-social support with trained mental health professionals, even less that understand the specific issue impacting on mental health in refugee communities.
