From the Publisher

Focused on the experience of resettling refugees—but appropriately set within the wider context of global displacement—the authors in these pages pull together key insights, information, and tools to support informed delivery of refugee mental health services. The book models an approach to the provision of services that is technically sound, culturally informed, and fundamentally humane.
