Health is more than a clinic. It is knowing where to turn.

We strengthen the physical and emotional wellbeing of individuals and families — through emotional-awareness programs, home-care guidance and connections to essential services.

Overview

Impact’s health work focuses on three areas: non-clinical home care, support in accessing primary care, and child health and school-related programs. Alongside these, we run psychosocial programs that help children and adults name, understand and manage their emotions.

Why it matters

Families rebuilding their lives far from home often do not know which health, protection or psychosocial services exist — or how to reach them. Practical guidance and trusted relationships close that gap.

  • Psychosocial & emotional wellbeing
  • Non-clinical home care
  • Access to primary care
  • Preventive health awareness
  • Child & school health
  • Referral & support pathways
  • Health support for factory employees
