Abstract
A needs assessment was conducted to identify the needs, challenges, and strengths of Syrian refugee children and families resettled in Canada and of services for these refugees. Ten refugee caregivers and 17 service providers were interviewed. Thematic analyses indicated significant needs and challenges experienced by refugees (e.g., persistent mental health issues, lack of in-person support), as well as challenges related to refugee services (e.g., discontinuity of mental health services). Several refugee strengths (e.g., optimism for the future and strong familial ties) and refugee service strengths (e.g., service collaboration) were identified, highlighting refugees’ adaptive capacities and points of service leverage to ensure refugees’ well-being and positive resettlement.
Keywords:
- refugee children and families,
- refugee service providers,
- needs assessment,
- community research
Résumé
Une analyse des besoins a été réalisée afin d’identifier les besoins, les défis et les forces des enfants et des familles de réfugiés syriens réinstallés au Canada, ainsi que des services qui leur sont destinés. Dix personnes réfugiées ayant des enfants à charge et dix-sept prestataires de services ont été interrogés. Les analyses thématiques ont révélé d’importants besoins et défis vécus par les réfugiés (par exemple, des problèmes de santé mentale persistants et un manque de soutien offert en personne) ainsi que des défis liés aux services pour les réfugiés (par exemple, la discontinuité des services de santé mentale). Plusieurs points forts des réfugiés (par exemple, un optimisme face à l’avenir et des liens familiaux solides) et des services qui leur sont destinés (par exemple, la collaboration entre les services) ont été identifiés, mettant en évidence les capacités d’adaptation des réfugiés ainsi que la capacité des points de service à assurer leur bien-être et une réinstallation positive.
