Avanços e Retrocessos na Área da Saúde Mental dos Imigrantes em Portugal: A perspectiva do GIS

Abstract:

The GIS Association (formally called Salpisign-GIS Association) is a non-profit association dedicated to research, service delivery and intervention in the area of migration and health. We focus on migrants, refugees and ethnic minorities, as well as on the quality of health services and intercultural training of health workers. In our action, we see the access to health as a fundamental right of an inclusive society in the expression of the rights and duties of citizenship. The GIS Association was created in 2007 and consists of 7 members (coincidentally, all female: anthropologists, social psychologists, sociologists and philosophers) and works in collaboration with other professionals and researchers, according to projects under development. The GIS Association – Immigration and Health Group has as its main objective the promotion of the health of the migrant population, through the development of research, training and intervention actions, through the creation of scientific, technical and informative dialogues between the Medical Sciences, the Social Sciences and Humanities and the socioculturally constituted knowledge of the immigrants and refugees themselves. Avanços e retrocessos na área da saúde mental dos imigrantes em Portugal: a perspectiva do GIS was presented at the 9th Cascais Mental Health Meeting on 14.11.08
