Overview
Julia Sheikh was born in Pakistan and arrived in New Zealand as an asylum seeker with her family as a 10-year-old. More recently, she has acquired an extensive counselling background, expertise in trauma and culturally informed mental health care, and worked with clients and families from refugee backgrounds, including crisis intervention and providing clinical support to the Christchurch Mosque attack victims.
She is on the New Zealand Refugee Advisory Panel, and a member and co-chair of the International Refugee Advisory Panel working with UNHCR – the United Nations Refugee Agency on matters of meaningful refugee representation at a global level to advocate for the refugee voice.
In this webinar, Julia shares her powerful story and lived experience while exploring who is a refugee, what kind of loss and grief they may experience, the types of trauma they may encounter and how to work alongside the unique challenges that come with being forced to flee your home country.
