New Zealand Red Cross Refugee Services
Refugee Services refugee health and wellbeing project
summary
This project was a pilot, household-based, health education
programme, to address some of the health challenges and
disadvantages experienced by former refugees resettling in New
Zealand.
One hundred and sixty-seven families from the Colombian,
Myanmar and Bhutanese former refugee communities in
Greater Wellington and Manawatü participated. The report
offers numerous recommendations for agencies working with
people from refugee-background communities, and includes key
changes and the factors contributing to these changes.
