Family-based mental health interventions for refugees across the migration continuum: A systematic review

A study on the influencing factors and response strategies for young teachers from Taiwan to teach in universities in China: a push-pull-mooring model perspective

“…Second, environmental factors are obstacles that prevent Taiwanese teachers from teaching in China, including family environment, professional environment, and living environment. Although Fan and Li (2019) have confirmed that a “core family” approach is prevalent in China’s population migration, with families moving with them to their destinations in order to maintain their marriages, discipline their children, and even care for their elderly parents, married teachers, who are unable to migrate their entire families, are severely hindered from teaching in China ( Bunn et al, 2022 ).…”

Promoting positive development among refugee adolescents

“…Losing that support, for instance, due to family separation, is an important risk factor for the mental health of refugee adolescents, as a study involving five European countries shows (Spaas et al, 2022). Systematic reviews of family‐based mental health programs and caregiving programs for refugees find support for their efficacy in LMICs and HICs, underscoring the important role of family relationships in recovery and resilience (Bunn et al, 2022; Gillespie et al, 2022).…”

Rethinking mental healthcare for refugees

“…These models can mitigate the development of mental health problems for populations with known risks and strengthen resources needed for coping and adjustment such as family and community relationships and access to formal and informal social support ( Fazel and Betancourt, 2018 ; Wachter et al, 2022 ). Several promising universal, selective and indicated prevention models have been developed and tested for families, groups, school and community settings and can be delivered at diverse points across the resettlement and integration process ( Bennouna et al, 2019 ; Bunn et al, 2022a ; Bunn & Betancourt, 2022 ; Sullivan & Simonson, 2016 ; Tyrer & Fazel, 2014 ). This will require situating these and other evidence-based (e.g., interventions with consistent research findings showing improved outcomes) and evidence-informed (e.g., interventions informed by research outcomes, provider experience, recipient preferences, and situational circumstances) mental services in community and neighborhood settings such as home-based care, mutual aid organizations, schools, religious institutions and libraries.…”
