• This project explores the use of a train-the-trainer model with a local Syrian community to build the community’s capacity to support the mental wellbeing among Syrian refugees. This project aims to answer the following questions: 1. What psychosocial challenges and needs do different Syrian refugee community members identify during early years of settlement? 2. What psychosocial strengths and adaptation processes do different Syrian refugee community members utilize during early years of settlement? 3. What are the processes involved in developing and implementing community empowerment learning groups? 4. How do community-identified solutions affect different groups’ integration pathways?
