In this lunch talk organized by the Metrodora group, in collaboration with St Lucas College of the Arts Antwerp, Eleni will provide us with insights on the work MHSUA have been doing for nearly five years to create spaces for peer-to-peer engagement with Ethiopians living with different gradations of mental unwellness. In addition, Eleni will take us through the research that they have been doing in collaboration with Dr. Charlotte Hanlon at the University of Addis Ababa and University of Edinburgh Department of Psychiatry. Following the talk, Sumaya El Houbba, a Belgian-Moroccan trauma-informed health and social psychologist, and embodiment practitioner will provide us a response to the presentation which will also attempt to root the talk into the local context. Sumaya has many years of working with newcomers in Belgium, marginalized and various diaspora communities in Belgium. The event will be woven together by the spirited hosting of Latifah Abdou.
