The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated that as of 2021 there werecurrently 84 million who have been forcibly displaced from their homes across the globe. The conflict inUkraine has led to a further marked increase in these numbers. Mental health difficulties have been shownto be elevated in forcibly displaced people (including asylum seeking and refugee populations). Risk factorscan be associated with events that occurred prior to, during, and after the migratory journey. Whilst thereis recognition of the important impact that a history of traumatic events (e.g., torture, abuse and neglect)can have, social adversity in the form of ‘daily stressors’ (e.g., a lack of access to basic resources, isolation,lack of safety and security, family violence) is being increasingly recognised as an important determinantof the mental health of forcibly displaced people. Concerns have been raised about the potentialmedicalization of social adversity faced by displaced populations. There has also been a comparative lackof research investigating approaches that may be helpful for enhancing the quality of life and subjectivewellbeing of forcibly displaced people. Psychosocial interventions and low-intensity psychologicalinterventions can provide scalable opportunities for treating common mental disorders and promotingwellbeing. This presentation will focus on research studies that I have been involved in which have beenundertaken in the EU and in sub-Saharan Africa to evaluate the efficacy of psychosocial interventions forforcibly displaced people. These projects have involved the linguistic and cultural adaptation ofinterventions and assessment measures. The implications that this research has for the integration offorcibly displaced people in the EU and beyond will be discussed. This will include a focus on conceptualframeworks that provide opportunities for situating determinants of mental health in the socio-politicalcontext in which forcibly displaced people live their lives, and not just risk- and protective-factors specificto the individual
