Notes
- Abstract:
- Before, during, and after flight, refugees experience many kinds and combinations of refugee trauma. Despite refugee populations’ particular need of psychosocial support, many obstacles prevent them from receiving it. Trauma contributes to the complex barriers that keep 50 percent of Syrian refugees of school age out of school. Educational and psychosocial needs of Syrian survivors of refugee trauma were explored through interviews with human rights, education, mental health, and refugee experts. Recommendations were identified for the integration of psychosocial support for Syrian refugees in Lebanon, which is hosting over one million Syrian refugees. Educational opportunity can cultivate a sense of normalcy for refugees and prevent a “lost generation.” Together, education and psychosocial support may help refugees to cope with stressors and make academic progress, fostering resilience as Syrian youths become active survivors and empowering them to contribute to their communities now and in the future.
