A sociopolitical response to vicarious witnessing
Vicarious witnessing is an emergent focus for social workers who support highly traumatized communities. Research indicates that indirectly witnessing another person’s trauma narrative can lead to internalizing those narratives resulting in adverse emotional, relational, and somatic symptoms. In this Practice Corner, we reconceptualize testimonial therapy as a strategy to foster wellbeing among service providers who support clients with trauma. P…
We Pray as a Family
The role of religion for resettled refugees is particularly complex and illuminating. In the context of migration, the opportunity for increased positive outcomes has the potential to play a vital role in coping with the often tumultuous migration and resettlement experiences of refugees. We share qualitative findings from 14 Karen refugees for whom religious practices are inextricably tied to resilience through family closeness and community-bui…
Powerful in flight
Traumatic experiences before and during flight and resettlement shape the lives and needs of refugee families. Yet, the agency of the refugees themselves —that is, their will and ability to make decisions regarding their present and future—is often ignored by caseworkers, policy-makers, and members of their resettlement communities. A better understanding of how refugees frame, respond to, and recover from stressors associated with their journeys…

Feminist Borderland Theory and Karen Refugees
Refugee related issues have become more prominent in Western policy-makers’ discussions as families fleeing oppression and unimaginable violence cross borders seeking safety and are sometimes resettled in host nations. In this paper we ask, how do resettled refugees negotiate their cultural identity in terms of physical and psychological ‘borders’ and subsequent power structures dictated by those borders? We apply a feminist borderlands theoretic…
Humanitarian healthcare
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the findings on interpersonal relational processes of Israeli healthcare providers (HCPs) and Syrian patients and caregivers using data collected in two Israeli hospitals. Design/methodology/approach Using a parallel mixed-methods design, data were integrated from observations, interviews, and surveys. In total, 20 HCPs and three Syrian patient caregivers provided interview data. Quantitative data w…
Conflict and Care
Israel has provided immediate healthcare to Syrian children, civilians and fighters since early 2013 despite being in an official state of war with Syria since 1973. We present qualitative findings from a larger mixed-methods phenomenological study to understand how the geopolitical and social history of Israel and Syria influences healthcare providers and Syrian patient caregivers in northern Israel. Theories of humanization and cognitive disson…
