ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author discusses working with unaccompanied minors, trafficked children, child soldiers, and children of refugees and their families. The author provides an idea of what is faced by children of refugees, the necessary and frivolousness need for therapy by outlining the stories of four such children as illustrative examples of the varied and extreme experiences endured by an individual child. The author focuses on the mental health issues faced by children of refugees. Children of Refugees and asylum-seekers, indeed Unaccompanied Minors endure a range of post-migratory traumas related to resettlement challenges, social isolation, economic deprivation, and restrictive asylum legislation. Trauma is a complex combination of biological, psychological, and social phenomena that can create lasting emotional difficulties. Sexual violence against adults and children is, in many regions, a particularly common instrument of terror and intimidation in civil or political conflict.
