“…Postmigration factors, including the quality of reception and support in the country of asylum, are important predictors of long-term outcome. 33,84,85 Women The many roles and responsibilities of immigrant women in the home and the workplace can impede their access to mental health services. 86 Immigrant women are at two to three times the risk of their Canadian-born counterparts for postpartum depression.…”

“…Social and economic stability of families is also important because the economic worries of the parents have adverse impacts on the health of the immigrant children. Studies are needed to be conducted regarding other familial variables; for example, in some studies, the educational level of the family has been shown to be effective while other studies have showed it to have no effects [16,24,43].…”

“…Lower levels of violence and discrimination have a significant effect on children's self-belief. Boys are more exposed to discrimination, which could lead to weaker psychological functions in them [43]. These discriminations would further lead to an increase in post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.…”

Background:Half of the world's refugees comprise children and adolescents. Confronting conflicts and difficulties before, during, and after migration and seeking asylum affect their mental health. The present study aimed at investigating the challenges of mental health of migrant and refugee adolescents and children. Materials and Methods:A systematic review was conducted in the second half of 2016 using PubMed, Scopus, Magiran, SID, and Google Scholar databases. From the 2014 studies initially selected, 20 articles that specifically attended to examining the mental health of migrant and refugee adolescents and children were finally extracted. Results:According to previous studies, the refugee adolescents and children encounter much harm. In addition to psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, post-trauma stress disorder and psychosomatic pains, this group of refugees also suffers from a decline in flexibility and behavioral and cognitive functions. These conditions have been reported more often in refugee adolescents and children who have been separated from their parents or left far away from them. Conclusion:Before a crisis occurs, policymakers and planners should formulate and implement educational programs along with the participation of parents and teachers in order for children to cope with conditions of disasters, and in order to promote the culture of resilience. The health system, while developing special care programs must prioritize the training of its employees in order to provide services. Most studies have attended to the incidence of symptoms of refugees' psychological disorders, while it seems necessary to conduct intervention studies with the aim of identifying elements of risk and ways to resolve these elements.

“…Jedna djevojčica je izjavila: »Nisam željela o tome razgovarati, ali sam željela maknuti sve ove misli iz svoje glave, a sada nakon razgovora se osjećam olakšano.« (Miller i Affolter, 2002.: 27). Istraživanje provedeno u Danskoj s djecom izbjeglicama s Bliskog istoka naglašava potrebu za psihosocijalnim tretmanom usmjerenim prema djeci s obzirom da su rezultati do kojih su došli pokazali kako se kod djece i nakon 8-9 godina od preseljenja javljaju psihološki problemi vezani uz traumu koju su proživjeli (Montgomery, 2008.). Djeca i mladi navodili su ključnim dobivanje praktičnih informacija poput informacija o post-traumatskim reakcijama, treniranje novih socijalnih vještina, ali i informiranje kako se ponašati i kako djelovati u stresnim situacijama (Mirdal, Ryding i Essendrop, 2012.).…”

SAŽETAKDjeca su najosjetljivija populacija pogođena ratom, te uslijed svih posljedica koje rat i izbjeglištvo donose, prijeko im je potreban savjetovališni rad. Savjetovatelji koji provode savjetovališni rad uzimaju u obzir sve kulturološke kontekste i pronalaze individualni pristup u radu s pojedinim djetetom. Karakteristike i kompetencije stručnjaka u radu s djecom ključne su zbog kompleksnosti procesa savjetovališnog rada i težine života u izbjeglištvu. Primjena savjetovališnog rada važna je i za budućnost djeteta budući da intenzivna iskustva izbjeglištva ograničavaju prostor koji djeca imaju za razvijanje budućnosti i otežavaju njihovo zdravo funkcioniranje i razvoj u sadašnjosti. Potreba za stručnjaci-ma zadnjih godina se povećava što je primijećeno i od strane važnih svjetskih aktera koji u sve aktivnosti koje provode nastoje uključiti što veći broj psihosocijalnih intervencija. Savjetovanje kao jedna od metoda u radu s djecom izbjeglicama i njihovim obiteljima jedan je od prvih koraka u procesu sveobuhvatne inkluzije djeteta u društvo i jačanja kapaciteta za život u novoj okolini.
