	Traumasensibler und empowernder Umgang mit Geflüchteten - Ein Praxisleitfaden Flory, L. Bundesweite Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Psychosozialen Zentren für Flüchtlinge und Folteropfer – BAfF e.V (2022) C1 View PDF(477) Download (164) Add to my MEDBOX Alle Geflüchtete haben das Recht auf eine menschenwürdige Unterbringung und Schutz vor Gewalt. Bund und Länder sind dazu verpflichtet, einen angemessenen und wirksamen Schutz sicherzustellen. Für traumatisierte und besonders vulnerable Geflüchtete ist dies umso wichtiger. In den Unterkünften braucht es daher sowohl ein Schutzkonzept vor Gewalt, als auch konkrete Leitlinien für die Mitarbeiter*innen, welche verdeutlichen, wie diese umzusetzen sind. Außerdem wurde der Praxisleitfaden zum „Traumasensiblen und empowernden Umgang mit Geflüchteten“ erstellt, der nicht nur für die Gewaltschutzkoordination bei der Umsetzung der Mindeststandards in den Unterkünften hilfreich ist, sondern auch für andere ehren- oder hauptamtlich arbeitende Personen Informationen und Handlungsvorschläge zu den Bereichen Trauma und Flucht bietet Tags: Trauma Care, Traumaarbeit, migrants, migration, Geflüchtete, Flüchtlinge, Psychosocial care, Leitlinie, Gewaltschutz, gewaltprävention, Source: https://www.baff-zentren.org/wp-content/

	A framework for mental health and psychosocial support in radiological and nuclear emergencies World Health Organization (WHO) and InterAgency Standing Committee (IASC) (2020) C_WHO View PDF(40) Download (34) Add to my MEDBOX The health impact of radiological and nuclear emergencies can last for decades. Lessons learned from past radiological and nuclear accidents have demonstrated that the mental health and psychosocial consequences can outweigh the direct physical health impacts of radiation exposure. International radiation emergency preparedness and response standards outline provisions for mitigating these effects. Yet, practical guidance for addressing the mental health and psychosocial aspects of radiation emergencies remains scarce. This framework aims to promote integration between the MHPSS and radiation protection fields. It is intended for officials and specialists involved in radiation emergency planning and risk management as well as MHPSS experts working in health emergencies Tags: Mental Health, nuclear, specific hazards, conflict, MHPSS, nuclear weapons, emergeny, community level, psychosocial support, radiological event, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream

	New WHO prevalence estimates of mental disorders in conflict settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis Fiona Charlson, Mark van Ommeren, Abraham Flaxman, et al. (2019) CC Open external link (981) Add to my MEDBOX The Lancet Published Online June 11, 2019 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(19)30934-1 More than one-in-five people living in conflict-affected areas suffers from a mental illness, according to a new UN-backed report, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to call for increased, sustained investment in mental health services in those zones. Around 22 per cent of those affected, suffer depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder, according to this analysis. The study also shows that about nine per cent of conflict-affected populations have a moderate to severe mental health condition; substantially higher than the global estimate for these mental health conditions in the general population Tags: mental health, depression, anxiety disorders, study, journal article, conflict, posttraumatic stress, substance abuse, psychosocial support, Analysis, Source: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lance
