My name is Mohsen Rajabi, a doctoral researcher at the Department of Psychology at the University of Bath. My PhD research explores how caregivers and peers influence refugee children’s recovery from PTSD in resource-poor settings in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Trauma-exposed children often rely on social support, mainly from parents and peers, to cope with trauma-related distress. While evidence from high-income countries shows that caregiver responses impact child PTSD, little is known about these dynamics in socio-economically disadvantaged areas. Using qualitative interviews and a longitudinal assessment of refugee caregivers, my study aims to further understand parental and peer influences on children’s post-trauma recovery and inform culturally appropriate support strategies.
