Health and wellbeing of unaccompanied refugee minors in the Nordic region
Integration
A substantial amount of research has been produced by research institutions, universities and NGOs about unaccompanied minors arriving in the Nordic region, about their asylumseeking process, the path to settlement and their characteristics. We know they face challenges and may suffer from mental disorders, although they also possess great resilience and have well-developed coping strategies.
Results
The Nordic Welfare Centre has summarized recent Nordic research about the health and wellbeing of unaccompanied minors, and paid attention to the group of unaccompanied girls.
