We are a group of professionals (psychologists, educators and psychotherapists) who have come together to establish FENIKS, a project which it is hoped will successfully fill a gap in the psychological services available to the Polish community in Edinburgh.
We are happy to present an opening for the Polish Social Movement Coordinator. It is a one-year See Me funded project with the aim to initiate and develop a positive action to tackle the stigma surrounding mental ill health within the Polish community in Scotland.
The post holder will be responsible for the development of the digital social movement through engaging Community Ambassadors; promoting a stronger, more supportive community in order to reduce isolation, stigma and vulnerability of Polish immigrants experiencing mental ill-health. Also by representing the lived experience in the existing networks to encourage wider action to reduce mental health and discrimination for Polish people and men in particular.
