Book excerpt: This study gives the results of a survey of the psychological well-being of 198 Somali refugee mothers in the Medinat Al Shaab refugee camp in Yemen and outlines steps to promote the recovery of the mothers and their children from severe stress. The first part of the study reviews factors affecting the well-being of refugee mothers and the relationship of their well-being to the welfare of their children and analyses the answers to the questionnaire used to assess the mothers' psychological health. An extremely high degree of psychosomatic and emotional sickness was found among 45,5 % of the mothers and there was a significant correlation between the mothers' sense of competence to care for their children and the trauma and stress they have experienced. The results of the survey are presented in narrative and table form. The second part of the study discusses the implementation of social welfare activities to promote the psychological recovery of the mothers and their children. It stresses the use of the resources of the refugees themselves, noting that what they need most is motivation. It is recommended that an overall goal for all interventions be to establish, as far as possible, normal family and community life.
Download or read book Refugee Women written by Leah Bassel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates over the headscarf and niqab, so-called ‘sharia-tribunals’, Female Genital Operations and forced marriages have raged in Europe and North America in recent years, raising the question – does accommodating Islam violate women’s rights? The book takes issue with the terms of this debate. It contrasts debates in France over the headscarf and in Canada over religious arbitration with the lived experience of a specific group of Muslim women: Somali refugee women. The challenges these women eloquently describe first-hand demonstrate that the fray over accommodating culture and religion neglects other needs and engenders a democratic deficit. In Refugee Women: Beyond Gender versus Culture, new theoretical perspectives recast both the story told and who tells the tale. By focusing on the politics underlying how these debates are framed and the experiences of women at the heart of these controversies, women are considered first and foremost as democratic agents rather than actors in the ‘culture versus gender’ script. Crucially, the institutions and processes created to address women’s needs are critically assessed from this perspective. Breaking from scholarship that focuses on whether the accommodation of culture and religion harms women, Bassel argues that this debate ignores the realities of the women at its heart. In these debates, Muslim women are constructed as silent victims. Bassel pleads compellingly for a consideration of women in all their complexity, as active participants in democratic life. The book will appeal to students and scholars throughout the social sciences, particularly of sociology, political science and women’s studies.

Download or read book Mental Health Practice with Immigrant and Refugee Youth written by Beverley Heidi Ellis and published by Concise Guides on Trauma Care. This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a framework to guide mental health providers who work with refugees and immigrants. Nearly 70 million people today are refugees or forcibly-displaced migrants. More than half of them are children suffering from the effects of dislocation and violence. The authors describe the unique needs and challenges of serving these populations, and offer concrete steps for providing evidence-based, culturally-responsive care. Using the socioecological model, the authors conceptualize the developing child as living within concentric circles that include family, school, neighborhood, and society, embedded within a cultural context. Mental health providers identify and provide targeted support to combat disruptions within any or all of these ecological layers. Chapters examine the complex ways in which culture impacts the refugee experience, barriers to engagement in mental health practice and strategies for overcoming them, assessment, collaborative and integrated mental health interventions, and efforts to increase resilience in children, families, and communities. The book is an essential guide for mental health providers, and all who seek to help children in need.
