Introduction
In 2021, as many as 30 million children and young people aged under 18 were forcibly displaced. Displaced persons, particularly children, are at risk for abuse, neglect, and violence and must be considered a specific vulnerable target group. Because these children often experience trauma or extreme stress, they are at risk of developing complex mental and physical health needs. Yet accessing support and receiving needed services is often difficult or delayed. This course will explore key areas that must be considered when working with children and young people who have experienced displacement.
