“…Douville (1985) feels that adolescent refugees have three basic options: they can switch from one cultural system to the other according to their parents' wishes, switch cultural systems out of defiance, or stick with the traditional model. Many authors note the conflicts that arise when adolescent refugees acculturate more quickly than their parents do (Charron et al,1981;Ganesan et al, 1989;Jupp et al,1990;Szapocznik & Kurtines, 1980). The subjects of conflict between refugee parents and adolescents vary with their culture, and also frequently with the sex of the adolescent.…”

“…Adolescent refugees face the added developmental problem of integration into the host society because of the increasing importance of peer groups and the external environment. In a study of Southeast Asian adolescents, Jupp and Luckey (1990) reported that these refugees have few friends from the host country and that their isolation is a risk factor. For Vietnamese adolescents, poor relationships with classmates from the host country are one of the most important factors in predicting emotional distress (Charron et al, 1981).…”

Refugee children are generally considered to be at high risk for mental health problems because of the extreme stressors they experience in the pre- and post-migration periods. This paper summarizes current knowledge on the manifestations of emotional disorder among refugee children and on the associated risk and protective factors. Special attention is given to the interaction of culture with the specific family, social and cultural context of refugee children. Intervention and preven tion services, as well as the implementation of community programs, are discussed.

“…Jupp and Luckey note that past traumas, life experiences, positionalities, and resettling into a new environment often leave refugees uncertain about their abilities to cope with the education and work options in host countries. 16 Hence refugees need reliable, accurate information and support to navigate their way into post-secondary education, and policies that allow them to overcome social structures that produce inequalities. It becomes imperative for host countries to develop educational systems, policies, and programs that prepare refugees for post-secondary education.…”

This study examines the role of demographics on education and career trajectories of refugees’ in Canada from an intersectional perspective. It implemented a 14-week unique educational program that was completed by a total of 41 refugees’, over two cohorts with the goal to overcome barriers, bridge gaps and facilitate their transition into higher education. The data collected using semi-structured interview guide was analyzed using a constant comparative method. The findings suggest that a supportive educational model that promotes safety, sense of belonging and empowerment are critical to combat the structural racism, sexism and other discriminatory factors in accessing higher education.

“…Availability of support systems is an important post-migration factor that can facilitate successful adaptation for adolescent refugees even when they have gone through traumatic experiences [ 72 , 73 , 74 ]. Conversely, a lack of social support can be related to a poor psychological adaptation [ 75 , 76 ]. With respect to the positive effect of social support, the connection with the close ethnic groups has been found to have a positive effect on mental health in children and adolescents [ 77 , 78 ].…”

The large number of adolescent refugees around the world constitutes a great challenge for societies. However, current models of acculturation have been developed for migrants, but not specifically for adolescent refugees. Crucial factors to describe adolescent refugee acculturation, such as intentions to return to their homeland, especially with respect to adolescent refugees with temporary residency and experiences of potentially traumatic events, are missing. Hence, the Multidimensional Intercultural Training Acculturation (MITA) model is introduced. The model proposes that two major concerns for adolescent refugees, which are socio-cultural adjustment and mental health, are predicted by intercultural and social–emotional competence, intentions to return to their homeland, and experiences of traumatic events. Moreover, the effects of three modes of acculturation are also proposed in the model. It is expected that these variables mediate the effects of intercultural competence, social–emotional competence, intentions to return to the homeland, and experiences of traumatic events on socio-cultural adjustment as well as mental health. Finally, it is also expected that in-group social support and out-group social support moderate the direct connection between the experiences of traumatic events and mental health.
