					<description><![CDATA[Red Acoge is a federation of local charities located in several parts of Spain that specialise in helping migrants, usually from countries outside the EU, who are at risk of vulnerability or social exclusion, as well as integrating them into the community.

Exact programmes will vary by each local charity. Generally all can offer support with particularly complex residency permission issues for those already living in Spain without the correct legal status who do not have enough money and knowledge to get other help to try to solve the problem or understand the Spanish system. For example, they can provide advice for residents who do not have proper residency permission about the "arraigo social" route to legal residency for those who can prove strong links to Spain or family reunification.

Some of the local groups may have English speakers available when you get in touch, but this cannot always be guaranteed, so it could be useful to contact with the help of a Spanish-speaking friend or be prepared to use a mobile phone to help translate if you do not speak Spanish.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Confederacíon Salud Mental España (Mental Health Spain Confederation) is the representative body of mental health support charities across Spain for those affected and their families.

The confederation’s knowledge of mental health support services available across Spain and also ability to direct to more local help could be useful if there is no immediate local help apparent to you in your area. Although the website is in Spanish, their mental health guidance service (“Servicio de Orientación en Salud Mental”) can answer emails in English. 

Support can be quite comprehensive from the Confederation and its members although it cannot offer medical and/or psychiatric attention. It is not a substitute for seeking medical attention, for example at a health centre if needed. Its role is to support those affected and their families including through social-worker-trained assistance or psychological or legal support.]]></description>
