Have you experienced dangerous and frightening things and have had emotional difficulties since then?

START: Traumasymptoms-Arousal- Regulation-Treatment

In the study we offer a psychotherapeutic program for adult people who have fled their home country and experienced a trauma (i.e. a dangerous or fear-inducing event). After trauma, many people have psychological problems, such as feeling anxious, sad, or unable to feel emotions. Many have nightmares and unpleasant, sudden memories of the dangerous situation. Many who fit the description have post-traumatic stress disorder. This is a mental illness that is very stressful, but can also be treated well.

IMPROVE-MH - a program for the well-being of your family

Many families seeking refuge endure difficult, stress-inducing experiences. As a result of these experiences, many develop fears and worries. When any parent’s mental health is affected, responding to their children’s needs becomes increasingly difficult. That is why it is vital for refugee parents to learn how to overcome their challenging experiences. The better you can do this, the more responsive you can be to your children’s needs.

We want to learn more about the useful measures and ways of attending to refugee families’ fears and worries through our study. Our objective is to focus on the well-being of parents and children at the same time.

Want to help improve communication with refugees?

Improving communication in mental health care for refugees.

In order to make the right diagnosis and to communicate the right therapy offer, it is particularly important that practitioner and patient understand each other linguistically and culturally. With this study we want to test a mobile human-to-human translation system, which is being developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). This cross-cultural translation tool will be used specifically in psychiatric care and facilitate the treatment of refugees with psychiatric illnesses.
