The migratory journey of asylum seekers is often long, complex, and marked by numerous traumas impacting both their somatic and psychological health. The goal of healthcare systems is to welcome and treat patients equitably. This article provides an overview of the migration situation in Switzerland and analyzes the impact of decisions, particularly regarding deportation, on the health of asylum seekers. It also serves as a call to reassess forced deportations to countries unable to meet the basic standards of the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as to enforce stricter controls on the overall conditions of deportations and to reexamine detention practices to limit their impact on the health of asylum seekers.

Developmental timing of adversity and neural network organization: An fNIRS study of the impact of refugee displacement.
Dev Cogn Neurosci

This study investigated the neurodevelopmental impacts of displacement on resettled Syrian refugee children in Canada, focusing on how the timing and duration of adversity experienced during displacement influence neural network organization. Using graph theoretical approaches within a network neuroscience framework, we examined how the developmental timing of displacement (age of displacement, duration of displacement) related to functional integration, segregation, and small-worldness. Syrian refugee children (n = 61, M=14 Range = 8-18), completed a resting state scan using functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging.

Caregiver characteristics and behaviors: quantitative associations with child depression amongst refugees in Uganda.
Glob Ment Health (Camb)

For refugee children, there are a number of risk factors for poor mental health and psychosocial well-being, many of them exacerbated for those refugee children living in low-resource settings. There is some evidence that caregiver warmth, parenting self-efficacy and positive relationships between caregivers and children can act as protective factors against poor mental health outcomes for children and adolescents. This study sought to assess if caregiver-level factors (parental warmth and affection, positive child-caregiver interaction and parenting self-efficacy) are protective for symptoms of child depression.
