saba app: a pilot project for improved access to mental health care for refugees
2024
-
2026
Co-funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) of the European Union.

The aim of the project is to offer psychosocial support to as many people with refugee or migration background in Germany as possible – at a low threshold, digitally and individually.

What is saba app?

It can be a quite challenging situation to arrive in a new country. In this situation, people often feel stuck and must handle a lot of stress. In many languages, ‘saba’ means something like ‘tomorrow’ or ‘future’. And that’s exactly what saba app stands for:
A support for a personal departure into a new, brighter period.

saba app ist eine digitale Anwendung auf Basis von Value Based Counseling (VBC) und führt die Benutzer:innen durch den gesamten VBC-Counseling-Prozess. Dieser hilft dabei, eigene Gefühle besser zu verstehen, Klarheit zu gewinnen und wieder das Gefühl zu haben, das eigene Leben beeinflussen zu können.

saba app is a digital application based on Value Based Counseling (VBC) and guides users through the entire VBC counseling process. This helps them to better understand their own feelings, gain clarity and regain the feeling that they can influence their own lives.

The app is accompanied by a VBC counselor (m/f), who can also be booked for personal counseling sessions in the respective native language during use. It is available in Arabic, Dari, English, Farsi, Russian and Ukrainian.
