This section will first present an overview of acculturation and mental health/social adjustment issues for refugee children and youth. The presentation will review the process of acculturation for children and parents, followed by a presentation of mental health issues, those stemming from the acculturation process as well as the consequences of trauma. This will be followed by a discussion of interventions to address these issues with youth, parents, and the schools.
