Keith Bradnam 📈After a couple of years of development I am happy that today, on #WorldRefugeeDay, we can announce the launch of CARE — the Careif Archive of Refugee Empowerment. 🧡
The archive is designed to serve as an essential resource for #MentalHealth and #SocialCare practitioners, community organisations, as well as for #refugees and #AsylumSeekers themselves.
In my volunteer role at Careif, I've been spending a lot of time building this new subsite which effectively triples the size of the whole website.
Amazingly, despite there now being >2,500 links on the Careif website there are *zero* broken links (thanks Dr Link Check!).
The new site lives here:https://careif.org/archive
