Adolescent refugee perspectives on psychosocial well-being (pdf 177kb)
This paper reviews a project undertaken by the Centre for International Health which examined psychosocial well-being from the perspective of refugee adolescents in four government schools in Perth, Western Australia.The main aims of this study were to examine how adolescent refugee children perceived the process of migration, loss, resettlement and consequent acculturation and discussed refugee adolescent views of their personal, economic and social environment, the nature of everyday experiences at school, struggles over language and skill acquisition, and the formation of emerging identities.
Recommendations for school-based strategies to promote psychosocial well-being among refugee adolescents were outlined and areas requiring further research were identified.
