ABSTRACT
The projects outlined in this volume represent some of the most creative and challenging mental health and psychosocial intervention work with refugees today. The contributing authors describe a wide range of ecological interventions designed to promote the psychological wellbeing of refugees in a diversity of settings-from refugee camps within or along the tenuous borders of developing countries to more permanent resettlement communities in nations such as the United States. Although the methodologies and theoretical underpinnings of the interventions vary, all of the projects are guided by a community-based, ecological model, which emphasizes drawing on community strengths and resources and involving community members as stakeholders and active collaborators in the development and implementation of psychosocial interventions.
