This came about in response to reports of a humanitarian crisis unfolding on our doorstep, with the British government\u2019s lack of support for the growing numbers of refugees gathering along the UK border with France. The project involved working alongside other agencies in the camp to provide psychosocial and resilience-based therapeutic support to unaccompanied young people, women, children and their families and also to many volunteers in the camp. The process of setting up the work is described, as well as the challenges and dilemmas of offering an intervention in extremely unsafe and insanitary conditions, where for most the experience of trauma was ongoing. The project was informed by systemic\u2013narrative practice and community\/liberation psychology, which incorporate the political and social context. A narrative framework offered a way of drawing on people\u2019s strengths and resources, rooted in their cultural and social histories and helping them connect with preferred identities, which we found to be essential in the context of ongoing crisis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1359104517742187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,23]],"date-time":"2018-03-23T02:06:55Z","timestamp":1521770815000},"page":"223-237","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Challenges and impossibilities of \u2018standing alongside\u2019 in an intolerable context: Learning from refugees and volunteers in the Calais camp"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Charlotte","family":"Burck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gillian","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1359104517742187","volume-title":"Liberation practices: Towards emotional wellbeing through dialogue","author":"Afuape T.","year":"2016"},{"key":"bibr2-1359104517742187","unstructured":"Benjamin J.
