Promoting the Psychosocial Well Being of Children Following War and Terrorism
This book aims to promote the psychosocial well being of children following war and terrorism. Experts from the former Yugoslavia, Israel, Palestine, NATO countries and elsewhere have contributed chapters detailing conceptual models and practical examples of community-based interventions for children. Some authors are experienced experts with extensive experience in providing community-based interventions for children during post-war reconstruction. Others have scientific experience conducting either research or program evaluation for such interventions. A third group of participants has experience in both the provision and evaluation of psychosocial services to children. These different per...
The Adaptation of Health Care Services to the Demand for Health Care and Health Care Services of People in Marginal Situation
This publication contains the text of Recommendation Rec (2001)12 adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in October 2001, together with an explanatory memorandum. This recommendation aims to protect and improve the health of people living in poverty by proposing a multi-sectoral approach which promotes preventive action and the creation of supportive environments. This approach seeks to avoid stigmatisation, since measures adopted to improve access for the socially vulnerable also serve the general population.
Mapping Trauma and Its Wake
Mapping Trauma and Its Wake is a compilation of autobiographic essays by seventeen of the field's pioneers, each of whom has been recognized for his or her contributions by the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Each author discusses how he or she first got interested in the field, what each feels are his or her greatest achievements, and where the discipline might - and should - go from here. This impressive collection of essays by internationally-renowned specialists is destined to become a classic of traumatology literature. It is a text that will provide future mental health professionals with a window into the early years of this rapidly expanding field.
Humanitarian Aid Work
He suggests alternative ideas for social reconstruction in such areas as prevention, care of victims, collective memory, respect for human rights, and help for the helpers."
Creating a Comprehensive Trauma Center
Early Thoughts on Creating Comprehensive Trauma Centers This volume has been many years in writing. When Dr. Donald Meichenbaum first suggested it and I approached my coauthor Lasse Nurmi, it did not seem to be as formidable a task as it has become. Interviewing the centers in this book has taken years-to get responses, to summarize those responses, and to return the summaries for further comment. Many centers have been created in that time; others have suspended operation. This volume does not claim to present even a majority of those centers. However, the ones contained herein are representative of "what is out there. " The idea to create a comprehensive trauma center is not new. The initi...
Violence in Schools
This publication reviews the highlights of "Local partnerships for preventing and combating violence in schools" conference 2-4 December 2002, Strasbourg (France). The conference discarded repression altogether as a means of curbing violence in schools. Instead, discussion focused on mediation, intercultural dialogue, early warning systems, prevention programmes at primary school level, and above all, on respect for the human rights of both the victim and the defender.
Integration and Resettlement of Refugees and Forced Migrants
Since 2017, the United States and Europe—among many other refugee-hosting countries—have made significant changes in their refugee policies. New visa restrictions, travel bans, and other regulations were imposed by national governments. At the local level, towns and cities responded in different ways: some resisted national policy by declaring themselves “sanctuary cities”, while others supported exclusionary policies. These different responses influenced refugees’ ability to settle and become integrated. The Refugees in Towns (RIT) project at Tufts University explores local urban integration experiences, drawing on the knowledge and perspectives of refugees and citizens in towns a...
Violence à l'école
Violence à l'école - Un défi pour la communauté locale passe en revue les points saillants de la Conférence du Conseil de l'Europe sur les partenariats locaux pour la prévention et la lutte contre la violence à l'école (décembre 2002). La conférence a catégoriquement écarté la répression comme moyen de maîtriser la violence à l'école. les débats ont été centrés, au contraire, sur la médiation ; le dialogue interculturel, les systèmes de préalerte, les programmes de prévention à l'école primaire et surtout le " respect des droits de l'homme " garanti aux victimes comme aux délinquants. Cette réunion a fait passer un message clair : d'une part, la prévention doit être axée sur l'éducation, et d'autre part, les établissements scolaires doivent s'ouvrir sur l'extérieur et lancer, en partenariat avec les acteurs de la communauté locale, dont la police, des initiatives qui prennent en compte les caractéristiques et les facteurs environnementaux de la collectivité en question.
L'adaptation des services de soins de santé à la demande de soins et de services des personnes en situation marginale
Cette recommandation sur l'adaptation des services de soins de santé à la demande de soins et de services des personnes en situation marginale parachève la série de recommandations sur les populations vulnérables. L'accroissement constant du nombre de personnes vivant dans des situations marginales et peu sûres, et ses conséquences sérieuses en matière de santé ainsi que sociales et économiques, nécessite l'adoption de politiques cohérentes et globales formulées sur les principes d'égalité, de dignité humaine et de participation. Pour protéger et améliorer la santé de ces personnes, la recommandation suggère une approche pluridisciplinaire favorisant la prévention et la création d'environnements propices à la réinsertion sociale, évitant la stigmatisation et développant les connaissances. Les mesures préconisées pour favoriser l'accès aux soins des personnes vulnérables ont l'avantage de bénéficier à la population en général
