More than 70 million people are forcibly displaced by violence, war, ethnic cleansing, hunger and related tragic events. Repeated trauma exposure and post-migration stressors that characterize the refugee experience are a human rights and global public mental health crisis. Policy makers, non-governmental organizations, practitioners, and leaders of refugee communities, face a daunting set of questions and hurdles to develop and implement mental health care for refugees. This team presenting at #ISTSS2019 discuss the challenges and possible responses that the mental health research and clinical community can have in responding to this global challenge.
