Child and adolescent psychotherapists work with refugees in the UK, while also being aware that conflicts, persecution and experiences of refugees around the world have an impact the children and families we work with.
This week we are sharing a piece written by Michela Mazzia and Valerie Curen, child and adolescent psychotherapists and ACP members, who discuss the importance of thinking about the experiences of refugees who experience further attacks, persecution and live in conflict settings. Scroll through the images to read their piece.
We would also like to share a paper the insightful paper “Shifting ground: the child without family in a strange new community” by Melzak, McLoughlin and Watt (2019). The paper is open access for a month. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0075417X.2018.1556316
