Promoting positive development among refugee adolescents
Bibliographic Data
Of the estimated 35.3 million refugees around the world (UNHCR, Figures at a Glance , 2022), approximately 50% are children under the age of 18. Refugee adolescents represent a unique group as they navigate developmental tasks in an unstable and often threatening environment or in resettlement contexts in which they often face marginalization. In addition to physiological, social, and psychological changes that mark adolescence, refugee youth often face traumatic experiences, acculturative stress, discrimination, and a lack of basic resources. In this consensus statement, we examine research on refugee adolescents' developmental tasks, acculturative tasks, and psychological adjustment using Suárez‐Orozco and colleague's integrative risk and resilience model for immigrant‐origin children and youth proposed by Suárez‐Orozco et al. Finally, we discuss recommendations—moving from proximal to more distal contexts
