Displaced is led by youth with experience of migration. We support young people and families who’ve moved to build belonging, confidence and leadership to strengthen mental wellbeing - while working to change the systems that make support unfair.
We support young people and families in ways that are culturally respectful and sensitive to trauma through:
Education
Workshops for young people and parents on early warning signs and practical ways to stay safe from risks like radicalisation.
Coaching
Regular support sessions where young people can talk things through, build confidence, and strengthen skills like communication and managing stress. We also support families to improve communication between young people and parents or carers.
Community Building
Events that bring communities together with local organisations and public services to build trust, challenge stereotypes, and improve how support is offered.
Sector Development
Training for youth workers and support professionals on putting racial and cultural equity into everyday practice. We also partner with institutions like UCL’s Institute of Global Health to research how racism and discrimination affect young people who’ve moved countries, and we share youth-led learning with local professionals.
