Solidarity and Support Network (Ssun)

ssun brings together volunteers who are keen to support the work of field volunteers in the refugee camps in europe and of volunteers working with refugees in the uk. what we do 1. confidential personal support via telephone or skype following a 'buddying'​- model, individual ssun volunteers are paired with individual field workers and make contact via telephone or skype. this can be either while field workers are in refugee camps in europe or following their return. ssun buddies provide free, confidential personal support & solidarity through regular conversations and dialogue. ssun buddies offer a space to reflect, be heard and process the challenges of being faced with such injustices. ssun buddies are experienced in understanding the impact of trauma, vicarious trauma and other common responses to exposure to injustice and suffering. this is not therapy! however, if field volunteers wish for more in-depth support, ssun buddies can signpost on to other services. ssun supports anyone
