Psychological Support for Refugee Adolescents
An Expressive Arts Approach to Wellbeing and Trauma Recovery
About this book
Psychological Support for Refugee Adolescents demonstrates the therapeutic powers of the expressive arts to address the specific needs of adolescent refugees in a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive manner.
Bridging the gaps in guidance on support for refugee adolescents, this essential resource integrates neuroscience, trauma theory, and creative interventions and provides tools for readers to use in both clinical and non-clinical settings. Chapters are organised into sections tailored to support the professionals involved in caring for adolescent refugees, including both psychotherapists and non-psychotherapists, with practical advice that is accessible across disciplines. Through richly detailed case studies featuring diverse refugee experiences, this book demonstrates how creative modalities, including visual arts, music, movement, and embodied practices, can be expertly tailored to honour cultural contexts while also addressing trauma symptoms, sleep disturbances, isolation, and other challenges.
An essential read for any professional involved in support for adolescent refugees, this book will also be of interest to arts and expressive therapists and mental health practitioners more broadly. The online support material for this book includes downloadable and photocopiable activities tailored for application to both psychotherapeutic and more general wellbeing support, aiding readers in their work with refugee adolescents.
