The need for culturally adapted and appropriate psychosocial treatment methods and approaches, and for orienting European psychosocial service providers to the refugee culture and language for the most effectiveness.
The features, dynamics, and implications of communal trauma and transgenerational trauma, and how these relate to the current situation in Europe.
Inter-regional and cross-cultural collaboration building for developing and implementing effective strategies.
