Inclusive Trauma-Informed Care Adventure Therapy Activities for refugee children and youth in Greece
An initiative that aims to support refugee youth through adventure therapy
Operated by: KMOP

CHALLENGE

Refugee children often face severe mental health issues such as PTSD and depression due to war trauma and displacement, impacting their social relationships, education, and overall quality of life. Traditional integration efforts in host countries across the EU remain insufficient, overlooking alternative methods like nature-based interventions.
