Summary
The refugee experience and associated trauma from forced migration is well established in relation to poor mental health outcomes. Finding approaches to support these people from the wake traumatic experience is therefore critical. This qualitative research project examines Sudanese refugees’ responses to trauma by exploring their initiatives, actions, hopes and values that establish forms of healing and resistance that are distinct from the negative effects of traumatic experience itself.
