Funded Activity Summary

Refugee mental health is a crucial public health concern in Australia, however little is known about how to treat psychological disorders in refugees. While difficulty regulating emotions has been strongly linked to mental health problems following trauma, no research has studied this in refugees. This research program uses qualitative, quantitative and experimental methods to test a model of emotion dysregulation in refugees, and evaluates the impact of a treatment designed to improve emotion regulation and general mental health in refugees.
