Abstract
War-affected refugee children often experience significant disruptions to their mental health due to exposure to traumatic events, displacement, and the challenges of resettlement. This comprehensive overview examines the substantial mental health needs of these children and identifies the barriers and gaps that hinder effective mental health care delivery. The study highlights the critical aspects of mental health requirements, including the impact of trauma and displacement, and explores the systemic obstacles that prevent adequate access to care. By addressing these barriers and gaps, the paper aims to inform strategies for improving mental health services for war-affected refugee children, ultimately contributing to better mental health outcomes for this vulnerable population.
期刊介绍：
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, the official journal of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, is an open access, online journal that provides an international platform for rapid and comprehensive scientific communication on child and adolescent mental health across different cultural backgrounds. CAPMH serves as a scientifically rigorous and broadly open forum for both interdisciplinary and cross-cultural exchange of research information, involving psychiatrists, paediatricians, psychologists, neuroscientists, and allied disciplines. The journal focusses on improving the knowledge base for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of mental health conditions in children and adolescents, and aims to integrate basic science, clinical research and the practical implementation of research findings. In addition, aspects which are still underrepresented in the traditional journals such as neurobiology and neuropsychology of psychiatric disorders in childhood and adolescence are considered.
