Lending a Hand to Our Future: Documenting, Assessing and Treating Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Refugee Children and Youth.
EF 2013-14
Résumé
Refugee children and youth are at high risk for PTSD and related psychological distress. Reported rates for PTSD, ranging from 19 to 45 percent, are startling. The condition often goes unrecognized or is misinterpreted as bad behaviour or lack of motivation. Working within two Toronto inner city school districts and a downtown youth shelter, the current project aims to introduce mental health screening, implement and evaluate an innovative treatment program, use and document the success of a "train the trainer" model of service delivery, use the experience to catalyze collaboration among primary health care, the schools and the community at large, and share the results with other jurisdictions in Ontario and across Canada.
