Foundation 63 is what happens when two Clinical Psychologists get creative with numbers and human rights.

​

All human rights are relevant when working with people. For us, two articles of the UN Convention Rights of the Child are behind our motivation for this enterprise:

​

Article 39: “Children who have experienced neglect, abuse, exploitation, torture or who are victims of war must receive special support to help them recover their health, dignity, self-respect and social life.”

​

Article 24: "The right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health."

​

These principles form the foundation for our work, and brings us to 63. 

 

We are here to champion these rights for unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors using psychological theory, evidence and practice.
