A moderated mediation model linking financial difficulties to support for violent radicalization
Away from violence
BACKGROUND: Support for violent and non-violent radicalization co-exists in some, but not all, adolescents. Yet, little is known about how adolescents transition towards or away from violent and/or non-violent radicalization over time. Within a socio-ecological framework, this study investigates how Canadian adolescents move from profiles that support violent radicalization to non-violent profiles and vice-versa and whether profile belonging is a…
The Demise of Scientific Medicine? Responding to the Challenge of Populist Medicine and Institutional Mistrust
The U.S. federal government has undertaken an unprecedented dismantling of core institutions related to health research, policy, and services.Beyond politicizing issues of health and social welfare, these actions have revealed conflicting positions about what counts as evidence for health and what knowledge should be accepted as science.After President Trump signed executive orders to ban diversity, equity, and inclusion, "woke gender ideology," …
Factors Influencing Racial Discrimination and Prevalence of Major Depressive Disorder Among Black Canadian Youths
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex and multifaceted mental health condition with far-reaching implications for youth well-being and society. This paper examined the prevalence of depressive symptoms consistent with probable MDD and their association with self-reported experiences of racial discrimination within the Black youth population in Canada. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. Questionnaires were administered vi…
Hybrid ideologies and glorification of violence during adolescence
Adolescence is a seminal period for the development of ideologies and a time of heightened risk for both violent and nonviolent radicalization. Although mounting evidence points to the growing prevalence of hybrid ideologies and violence glorification among individuals legitimizing violence, empirical studies that document these emerging phenomena are scarce, especially among youth. If and how specific ideologies or their combination are associat…
Multi-method cross-linguistic validation of the Activism and Radicalism Intention Scale for adolescents
The world is rapidly changing, and many societies face radicalization involving activism and sometimes violence. Adolescents are at increased risk of radicalization, yet validated scales to assess violent and non-violent radical intentions among youth are lacking. This study aimed to validate the Activism-Radicalism Intention Scale (ARIS) for use among French- and English-speaking adolescents (14–18 years) using data from 1,911 Canadian high scho…
Interventions Addressing Current Social Polarization in the School Context
The current climate in schools is increasingly polarized, mirroring the social and political tensions at the meso- and macro-levels of society. This relatively recent phenomenon calls for school-based interventions, yet the existing empirical evidence is still scant. This scoping literature review aimed to provide an overview of existing studies that critically and/or empirically appraise interventions implemented at the intersection of social po…
Surviving and thriving in spite of hate
Violent extremism (VE) is often manifested through hate discourses, which are hurtful for their targets, shatter social cohesion, and provoke feelings of impending threat. In a clinical setting, these discourses may affect clinicians in different ways, eroding their capacity to provide care. This clinical article describes the subjective experiences and the coping strategies of clinicians engaged with individuals attracted by VE. A focus group wa…
Being heard, restoring a social connection and decreasing anger
Growing social polarization and ideological radicalization contribute to an increased risk of violence, particularly among vulnerable individuals experiencing despair and marginalization. Understanding the subjective experiences of individuals involved in violent extremism (VE) can inform the development of effective clinical and social interventions that promote disengagement and reintegration. Despite increasing efforts to address VE through te…
It's all about making room for young people”
This mixed-method study aims to explore adolescents' experiences of social adversity and how these experiences are associated with support for violent radicalization (VR) within the school context. A total of 1911 students (M age = 15.7; SD age = 0.98; age range 14-18; 49% girls; 73% Canadian-born) responded to an online survey and four focus groups were conducted with 17 adolescents. Results indicated that experiences of social adversity are ver…
Radicalisation violente et intervention
Parmi les différentes formes d’intervention s’adressant à des personnes engagées ou à risque de basculer dans la radicalisation violente qui ont vu le jour dans la dernière décennie, le mentorat a été présenté comme une avenue prometteuse pour briser l’isolement et améliorer l’intégration sociale. Cet article se penche sur un programme de mentorat destiné à des personnes suivies par une équipe clinique spécialisée en radicalisation violente au Qu…
Self‐representation and future perception of youth followed by a specialized intervention team in violent radicalization
In response to the increase in ideological and non‐ideological mass killings, mental health professionals are beginning to invest in prevention and intervention in violent radicalization situations. The psychological and psychiatric literature proposes multiple psychological theories describing the individual factors at play in the process of violent radicalization: loss of meaning, responses to humiliation, dehumanization of the other as well as…
Silencing or silent transmission? An exploratory study on trauma communication in Kurdish refugee families
Trauma communication in refugee families is increasingly recognized as an important relational dynamic influencing psychosocial well‐being, yet studies exploring interactional dynamics and meaning making at play in intra‐family trauma communication remain scarce. This article reports on a qualitative study with Kurdish refugee families including parents ( N = 10) and children ( N = 17) resettled in Belgium, aiming to explore practices on trauma c…
Digital media use, depressive symptoms and support for violent radicalization among young Canadians
It is essential to tailor prevention and intervention efforts to mitigate risks of VR to the specific needs and experiences of different groups in society, within a socio-ecological perspective. Prevention should consider both strengths and risks of digital media use and simulteaneously target both online and offline experiences and networks, with a focus on the sociopolitical and relational/emotional components of Internet use
Developing a Collaborative Approach to Support Access and Acceptability of Mental Health Care for Refugee Youth
Despite an increased prevalence of psychiatric morbidity, minor refugees resettled in Western host societies are less likely to access mental health care services than their native peers. This study aims to explore how a collaborative approach can be implemented to promote access to specialized mental health care. Collaborative mental health care embeds specialized intervention in primary care settings and emphasizes the inclusion of minority cul…
Correlates of low resilience and physical and mental well-being among Black youths in Canada
In this study, the Black youth participants reported relatively low resilience scores. Employment, physical health, and mental health status were factors that contributed to low resilience. Further studies are needed to examine the causal link between resilience and its dynamic effect on health outcomes among Black youth. More interventions are needed to make mental health services accessible to Black youth in a more culturally sensitive way with…
The ephemerality of bearing witness
In this essay, we critically reflect upon the ephemeral nature of theatre. Such a reflection becomes particularly important in participatory refugee theatre, since the process of participants' bearing witness to experiences of trauma and violence is emphasised as the core impetus. To this end, we investigate the experiences of Syrian young adults participating in a theatre project in Belgium. We argue that the ephemeral nature of theatre enables …

The protective power of dissent? A longitudinal study on cognitive and socio-emotional determinants of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among young people in Canada
COVID-19 has elicited polarized reactions to public health measures, fueling anti-vaccination movements worldwide which indicate that vaccine hesitancy represents a common expression of dissent. We investigate changes in cognitive (i.e., trust in government, conspiracy beliefs, vaccine attitudes, and other COVID-19-related factors) and socio-emotional factors (i.e., psychological distress and social support) over time, and examine if these factor…
It will always be Temporary
Given the increased prevalence of mental health problems in Syrian refugee communities, there have been efforts to develop adequate mental health care for their well-being. Herein, clinical literature is increasingly emphasizing the importance of locating refugees' healing at the nexus of personal and social realities, understanding the process of trauma narration within social restorative spaces of witnessing and communal support. Alongside this…
Families’ and Practitioners’ Use of Culture in Youth Mental Health Services
The unsanitary other and racism during the pandemic
The global rise of populism and concomitant polarizations across disenfranchised and marginalized groups has been magnified by so-called echo chambers, and a major public health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic has only served to fuel these intergroup tensions. Media institutions disseminating information on ways to prevent the propagation of the virus have reactivated a specific discursive phenomenon previously observed in many epidemics: the c…
‘It Just Feels Like an Invasion’
Studies from the United States and United Kingdom have shown that Black patients are disproportionately diagnosed with psychosis and have received excess coercive medical intervention. There has been little discussion of this topic in Canada, and of how coercive interventions may have influenced Black patient attitudes towards mental health services. To address these issues, semi-structured interviews were administered to five Black men with firs…
Striking a balance
Upwards of 500,000 pediatric patients visit emergency rooms annually for psychiatric crises, with rates recently increasing, necessitating an examination of ER treatment approaches, including triage and crisis interventions. Nurses and pediatricians without specialized psychiatric training often apply a triage approach to such youth’s care, rapidly admitting or discharging them depending on risks of auto- or hetero-aggression. Alternatively, a cr…

Perceived Discrimination and Its Association With Psychological Distress Among Newly Arrived Immigrants Before and After September 11, 2001
These results confirm an increase in perception of discrimination and psychological distress among Arab Muslim recent immigrant communities after September 11, 2001, and highlight the importance this context may have for other immigrant groups
Towards a relational ethics
While anthropologists have reflected on ethics and power since the late 1960s, the specific dilemmas that arise in research conducted with children and youth have scarcely been addressed. Nevertheless, critical anthropology's reflections on power relations and reflexivity can valuably contribute to the interdisciplinary debate in the field of childhood studies, by complexifying categories of voice, dependency and agency, which are often taken for…
The gap between entitlement and access to healthcare
In 2012 the Canadian government made significant cuts to its historically strong federal refugee health coverage plan. While this policy had negligible effects on the level of coverage provided to asylum seekers in Quebec, there is evidence that this group nonetheless experienced reduced healthcare access during the period of polarized national debate that ensued. This study engaged the "candidacy" model of healthcare access to illuminate factors…

Multilayered Ethics in Research Involving Unaccompanied Refugee Minors
Research articles about unaccompanied refugee minors (UM) have rarely addressed ethical issues. This is remarkable, given UM’s specific, marginalized and vulnerable position within society, and the growing interest and developments in research ethics in refugee research. This article poses the question whether studies involving UM raise specific ethical issues compared to research on other refugee groups. We formulate personal reflections on ethi…

Socio-cultural correlates of self-reported experiences of discrimination related to Covid-19 in a culturally diverse sample of Canadian adults
Minorities and marginalized groups have increasingly become the target of discriminatory actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Detailed information about the manifestation of COVID-related discrimination is required to develop preventive actions that are not stigmatizing for such groups. The present study investigates experiences of perceived discrimination related to COVID-19 and its socio-cultural correlates in a culturally diverse sample o…
Children of Exception
This article examines legal discourses on precarious status children in Canada over the last decade. Drawing on different theoretical frameworks and taking into account laws and court decisions, the paper will examine the way in which precarious status children are regarded as powerless subjects in need of protection and as threatening others. The article argues that these two apparently contrasting discourses are embedded within specific socio-h…
Health workers' perceptions of access to care for children and pregnant women with precarious immigration status
The Canadian government's recent cuts to healthcare coverage for refugee claimants has rekindled the debate in Canada about what medical services should be provided to individuals with precarious immigration status, and who should pay for these services. This article further explores this debate, focussing on the perceptions of healthcare workers in Montreal, a large multiethnic Canadian city. In April-June 2010, an online survey was conducted to…

Making sense of collective identity and trauma through drawing
Identity construction can be very complex for refugee children, especially for Palestinian refugee children. For refugee children, organised violence and immigration are important parts of their life experience that can lead to trauma, which in turn influences how they construct their collective identity. Schools have to consider this specific experience as the development of a meaningful identity is an important factor in refugee students’ well-…
Resettlement challenges faced by refugee claimant families in Montreal
Adult refugee claimants experience several well‐documented post‐migratory challenges. Little is known about the resettlement process for refugee claimant families with children. This study reports on 75 open‐ended, in‐depth interviews with refugee claimant families in Montreal about their resettlement challenges and their proposed solutions to them. These interviews were conducted with 33 dyads and triads of children and parents attending a paedi…

The Politics of Culture in Humanitarian Aid to Women Refugees Who Have Experienced Sexual Violence
There is a growing sense of urgency within international humanitarian aid agencies to intervene quickly when faced with organized violence stemming from war or armed conflict. From this perspective, the rape of refugees calls for prompt psychological intervention. Beyond this sense of urgency, the premises underlying the different models of humanitarian intervention being utilized require further documentation. What concepts and practices charact…

Trauma and Extended Separation from Family among Latin American and African Refugees in Montreal
Although the vast majority of refugees have suffered trauma and extended separation from their families in exile, little is known about the interactions between these two types of experience.

Rêver ensemble le départ. Construction du mythe chez les jeunes Somaliens réfugiés
Les jeunes réfugiés somaliens passent souvent par une longue transition prémigratoire avant de rejoindre leur destination finale. Durant ce difficile passage, ils construisent ensemble un mythe du départ qui structure les stratégies individuelles. La substitution du « voyage rêvé » au « voyage réel » en conduit quelques-uns, surtout si la transition se prolonge, à perdre contact avec la réalité et à basculer dans la folie. Les auteurs fondent leu…
Analyse multidisciplinaire du processus décisionnel de la Cisr
The refugee determination process is one of the most complex judicial functions in our societies.

Are Refugee Children an At-Risk Group? A Longitudinal Study of Cambodian Adolescents
The discrepancy between the intensity of psychiatric symptoms and the social adjustment of adolescent refugees has been noted repeatedly and remains a puzzle, given the loss and trauma experienced through their migration process. To verify whether this lack of association between symptoms and social adjustment was specific to refugees and stable throughout adolescence, 57 young Cambodians were followed over a four‐year period, from early to late …
Family Environment and Emotional and Behavioural Symptoms in Adolescent Cambodian Refugees
For young refugees, the turmoil of adolescence is exacerbated by the acculturation process that sometimes places them at odds with the traditional culture of their ethnic group. The family environment can affect how adolescents cross that pivotal period. This paper focuses on the influence of family environment, gender and acculturation on the mental health of young refugees from early to mid-adolescence. Sixty-seven Cambodian adolescents were fo…

Results of a survey revealed that in general while teachers in this model did not believe the students' behavi…

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a relatively new form of psychotherapy to emerge in the West. Using both a case analysis and literature review we situate EMDR within the use of altered states of consciousness (ASCs) in psychological healing practices across times and cultures. We discuss EMDR's unique predicament as a therapy that draws upon techniques common to most therapeutic ASCs, while at the same time distancing itse…
