Health and Wellbeing
Our Individual and Case Support service provides confidential advice, guidance, and advocacy to help individuals facing discrimination, inequality, or injustice navigate their challenges and access the support they need.
What is Health & Wellbeing Support?
Understanding Health and Wellbeing
Trauma and Adjustment
Many people accessing our services have experienced trauma, including war, displacement, family separation, exploitation, or abuse. These experiences are often followed by stress, anxiety, or depression when adapting to life in a new country.
Cultural and Language Barriers
Some individuals struggle to express their needs or seek help due to stigma around mental health, language barriers, or unfamiliarity with the UK’s healthcare system.
Isolation and Discrimination
Social isolation, racism, and a lack of community connections can have a significant impact on mental health and confidence.
Personalised Support
This includes one-to-one emotional support tailored to each person’s needs. We help individuals explore their mental health, understand their wellbeing, and plan steps toward healing and recovery.
Healthcare Navigation
We assist clients in understanding and accessing NHS and community health services. This includes registering with a GP, finding a therapist, or accessing mental health support.
Practical Assistance
We help complete forms for GP registration, therapy referrals, and wellbeing services. We also provide advice on rights and access to health services in the UK.
Community Connection
We encourage engagement in social groups, community events, and peer networks. This reduces isolation, builds confidence, and helps individuals feel part of their new environment.

Success Stories & Case Studies
Below is an example of a person we helped recently with a race discrimination case; their name and identifiable information have been omitted to ensure their anonymity.
Supporting Ahmed Through Trauma
Ahmed, a young man who had fled conflict in his home country, arrived in Leicester alone and visibly distressed. He struggled with anxiety, nightmares, and isolation. Through our Health and Wellbeing Officer, Ahmed was referred to a trauma-informed counselling service and supported in registering with a GP. We also helped him connect with a local football group and social activities. Over time, Ahmed regained confidence, improved his mental wellbeing, and began to feel part of the community.
Supporting in His Workplace Discrimination Case
A qualified engineer, was overlooked for promotion several times, despite having more experience than his peers. He suspected it was due to his ethnicity, as others with fewer qualifications were promoted instead.
After contacting TREC, we helped Ahmed file a formal complaint with his employer and supported him through the process. With our assistance, the company reviewed their practices, and Ahmed was offered the promotion he deserved.
The organisation also committed to improving their internal diversity and equality policies to prevent future discrimination.
