“…Siegel found that an individual's ability to self-sooth negative internal dialogue may come from a memory of a parent who comforts or cheers up a child when in distress by offering emotional support [4]. Further studies suggest that the presence of a family had enhances psychological wellbeing and that healing from trauma occurs through the therapeutic activity taking place between a young person and their family and friends [46,37]. Some studies that examined the resilience of Cambodian children after the war, many of whom were suffering from PTSD symptoms, including documented hyper-vigilance startle response and disassociation, found that their resilience came from the family unit [47,48].…”

“…The cultural tradition of filial piety or the belief that children should respect and take care of their parents is often followed [49]. The presence of a family can help as it provides a potential forum for the expression of feelings [46]. While social support structures and communities provided a further platform for connection and being able to talk to "someone who knows me" [37].…”

Political and economic instability, poverty, war and terrorism, are just some of the harsh realities facing many young people globally. Various theoretical frameworks that conceptualize resilience exist in Western countries, yet there is limited research that looks specifically at resilience for children and young people in developing nations who have experienced significant trauma. Earlier research conducted with staff at Hagar International Cambodia (hereafter Hagar) indicated that for a child, recovery from trauma was contingent on their relationships and their ability to establish trust and connection to others. Hagar is a global human rights organisation, providing wraparound support services for women and children who have survived the most extreme cases of human rights abuse. There is much to be gained from the insight and lived experiences of those who have risen from complex trauma situations, such as the young people from Hagar. As such, research is currently being conducted which examines the resiliency factors that have contributed to these young people's overall wellbeing. This article will explore the intersection between relationships, trust and power of human connection for trauma survivors in Cambodia, bringing together current research with reflections from the field of Cambodia.

“…Most people living as refugees in a host society have been exposed to many pre-migration, trauma-related stressors, such as violations of human rights, loss of loved ones, and uprooting from one's homeland. They are also exposed to ongoing post-migration stressors in a new society, such as cultural adjustment and socioeconomic deprivations (e.g., Lie, Sveaass, & Eilertsen, 2004).…”
