Syrian refugees in Turkey: exploring the role of I/NGOs in refugee crisis

Examining the effectiveness of a group hope intervention program in Syrian refugee children: A pilot study

“…On the governmental level, financial support for the research teams, organizations, and services working in psychosocial realm of refugee crisis might be provided limited. In fact, Atar et al (2022) revealed how limited the scope of services provided by non-governmental organizations in Turkey due to limited access to financial support. Considering the insufficient basiclevel services for refugees by governmental and non-governmental organizations (Atar et al, 2022), the lack of programs supporting psychological health-protecting and promoting services might be expected.…”

This picture, however, does not diminish the importance of developing works that support the resilience of refugees; contrarily, as revealing the lack of services for promoting psychological health of refugee groups, it may highlight the importance of developing and evaluating such programs.…”

From hope to reality: a case of a syrian refugee family resettling in Canada

“…In effect, refugees' social integration relies on markers and means (e.g., employment, housing, education, health), social connections (e.g., social bridges, social bonds, social links), facilitators (e.g., language and cultural knowledge, safety, and stability), and the basic foundations for success in a new land (safety, rights, and citizenship). However, given the racial, social, and economic divergences in resettlement countries, and in keeping with most Syrian refugees' experiences, a layer of exclusionary laws and policies tends to inhibit their opportunities for successful integration (Atar et al, 2022;Bruhn;Gonzales, 2023;Dionigi, 2023;Viczko;Matsumoto, 2022).…”

“…Since 2011, the Syrian refugee crisis has witnessed over 14 million people forced to leave their homes to seek safer spaces (Atar et al, 2022;Dionigi, 2023;Kalogeraki, 2022). According to the United Nations Refugee Agency (2023), over 70% of Syrians currently require humanitarian assistance and approximately 90% live below the poverty line.…”

“…To adequately answer the research questions, this study was framed around three conceptual theories: social integration after resettlement, refugee trauma and (re)settlement, and resilience among refugees. These themes informed researchers' analysis of the refugee family's shared stories of oppression, belonging, and resilience (Atar et al, 2022;Dionigi, 2023;Dryden-Peterson et al, 2017;Kalogeraki, 2022) in social and educational contexts, which play an essential role in examining the insufficient anti-racist approaches to supporting these populations (Pardy, 2023;El Chaar, 2020).…”
