Refugee Services Toolkit (RST)

Children’s Hospital Boston’s Center for Refugee Trauma and Resilience developed this web-based tool to help service system providers understand the experience of refugee children and families, identify and address their mental health needs, and ensure that they are connected with the most appropriate available interventions. The mental health and well-being of refugee children and families can be impacted by multiple factors including: their experience of trauma; stressors including resettlement, acculturation, and social isolation; and strengths that contribute to resilience.
