Mental-health services for refugee women and children in Africa

Article Abstract:

The neglect and lack of development of professional mental-health services for refugee children and women in Africa is focused and it is argued that relief activities should include psychological and mental-health services to help them deal with their traumatic experiences. It is noted that professional social work intervention from Africa and elsewhere, on the mental health of refugees would benefit the suffering children and women in Africa.
