New TLS partnership helps to provide mental health support for migrants

We are delighted to announce a new partnership with charity The Magic Stork.

Founded by Chartered Psychologist Dr Valeria Giannuzzi, The Magic Stork offers culturally sensitive mental health support to people who are migrants of any kind: “students, families reuniting, seasonal workers, asylum seekers and refugees, expats…”

Through the partnership, TLS will provide linguists to the charity at a subsidised cost, allowing The Magic Stork to offer more support to more people.

Dr Giannuzzi said: “I came across TLS while supporting an Albanian client who understood some English but couldn’t speak it. Being able to just call a number, choose a language, and have a professional interpreter ready to go, felt like having a trusted teammate in my corner, a calm and reliable presence on the other end.

“For a small organisation like ours, this kind of support is invaluable. It means we can focus on reaching more people without constantly searching for interpreters or volunteers. Working on the frontline, having strong partners by your side is what makes our mission not only possible, but more enjoyable and impactful. The Language Shop shares the same vision with us, and it helps us build the kind of bridges our communities need.”
