“…Post-migratory stressors are multifaceted [ 51 ] and shape the UMRs’ daily lives, psychosocial well-being and mental health; they include material, social and daily stressors as well as acculturational stress. Especially, constant negotiations with authorities and a general lack of residence stability can lead to the UMRs’ lack of trust in the arriving societies and especially in its care systems [ 46 , 52 ].…”

“…Because trust is of high importance and functions in a life-guiding and even safety-ensuring role in the UMRs’ pre- and peri- migration phases [ 46 , 53 , 54 ], a lack of trust might impact their agency and future orientations [ 52 ]; this may aggravate their adjustment processes and shape their PSC, psychological and psychiatric therapy needs [ 55 ]. Access to trustworthy care structures is interpreted as giving a “sense of belonging” [ 56 ].…”

“…On the one hand, social and cultural adjustment is highly linked to the personal as well as the social background and motivation of the UMRs themselves and their attitude towards their new living conditions [ 46 ]; on the other hand, it is also linked to the existence of either welcoming or othering cultures within the arrival country [ 6 ]. The political contexts concerning the right to family reunification and the classifications of UMR countries of origin as safe or unsafe define further mechanisms [ 49 , 52 ] that shape care contexts, as described above. Possibly undersupply and failures to recognise the UMRs’ needs [ 46 ] and barriers to PSC can be reinforced by the general ambiguity between human and children´s rights and asylum law [ 49 ].…”

“…Possibly undersupply and failures to recognise the UMRs’ needs [ 46 ] and barriers to PSC can be reinforced by the general ambiguity between human and children´s rights and asylum law [ 49 ]. For example, within the German context, the conflict between the youth welfare legislation (SGBIII) and the German Asylum Laws (AsylG) put caregivers in disempowering situations, which consequently promote risks for PTSD chronification and the undersupply of PSC for UMRs [ 49 , 52 , 59 ]. Due to inappropriate legal conditions, there is a certain risk of administrative detention throughout Europe and especially Germany [ 60 ].…”

“…Low-threshold offers in these fields cannot alleviate the underlying structural conditions but can provide partial relief. Another outcome is gender and relates to gender-specific reasons to flee [ 44 ] (e.g., FGM female genital mutilation [ 49 , 52 ]). One of the multiple reasons the female proportion of UMRs is relatively low in the arriving countries is the fact that girls face multiple dangers of sexual exploitation during their migration process and beyond (in Germany, of the total UMRs, girls comprised 8,6% in 2015 [ 52 ] and 10% in 2016 [ 44 ]).…”

Research on the psychosocial care (PSC) of unaccompanied minor refugees (UMRs) has mainly taken a socioepidemiological approach and has focused on the perspectives of experts in the field. In contrast, the knowledge concerning the differing context factors and the underlying mechanisms of current PSC which could inform policy recommendations is scant. The study aims at unravelling the contexts, mechanisms and outcomes of PSC for UMRs. For a realist review (RR), scientific evidence and gray literature were synthesised consistent with the RAMESES publication standards for realist synthesis. Based on an iterative keyword search in electronic databases (e.g., PubMed) and screening, 34 works from 2005 to 2019 were included in a realist synthesis. Theory-informed context–mechanism–outcome configurations (CMOs) were extracted, to explain underlying processes and mechanisms. Characterised by their interrelatedness, the dominant CMOs included the UMRs’ intersections of transitions (e.g., adolescence and migration), their needs for culture-, and gender-sensitive PSC, and the undersupply of PSC. These contexts and outcomes are mediated by pre-, peri- and post-migratory stressors as well as care structures and are moreover influenced by overarching discourses and concepts. They comprise adverse and beneficial mechanisms in the PSC of UMRs. The existing literature grasps the PSC of UMRs by different disciplines and approaches but does not offer a comprehensive overview on micro–macro intersections and included discourses. The inclusion of lay perspectives and an intersectional approach could inform health service research. The reflection of UMR-related categorical constructs of resilience and vulnerability, discourses of othering, as well as restrictive health policies may guide policy recommendations.

Germany has become the most important destination country for young refugees in Europe (Destatis, 2021). Vocational education and training can make an important contribution to overcome educational barriers and gain participation in society (Will & Hohmut, 2020). Since 2015, rural regions have faced new challenges in establishing effective support systems for young apprentices with forced migration experience (Ohliger et al., 2017). The participatory LaeneAs research project seeks to identify educational barriers and to promote successful educational pathways for young refugees in vocational training. In four distinct rural areas in Germany, stakeholders in formal, non-formal, and informal learning environments and young refugees will be brought together in real-world laboratories. The authors aim to open space for a co-constructive knowledge production process between scientific and political stakeholders, educational practitioners, and refugee youth. Real-world laboratories are a socio-spatial methodology that combines research and a sustainable capacity building process. The lifeworld expertise will be used for a contextual condition analysis of structural, societal, and individual barriers to education as well as 26 ANNETTE KORNTHEUER AND STEFAN THOMAS for practice transfer. Building on the discussion of the current state of research and the identification of significant gaps in the practice and research landscape, this essay will focus on the critical discussion of the methodological implementation of the study.

Embodying legal precarity: Living with ongoing short‐term protection in Germany

Immigration regimes pay particular attention to the migrant’s body in the process of legal and bureaucratic inscription. Legal precarity, defined by the repeated reception of short‐term protection from deportation, is an existential and deeply embodied experience. The analysis of Schwangerschaftsduldung (temporary suspension of deportation based on pregnancy) and protection for unaccompanied minors, two legal situations in Germany, can shed light on how the migrant’s body receives centre stage in the process of legal status determination and shows how the long journey to relative legal stability deeply affects the body. The two legal categories have in common a temporal limitation and an association with bodily transformations. By centring on the legal trajectories of three migrants, this article shows how the body is taken as the marker of vulnerability and (un)deservingness and becomes the bearer of legal precarity.
