This exploratory study was initiated to elicit information about the problems experienced by male refugee survivors in South Australia, as a result of torture and/or trauma. The effects of these experiences on their resettlement process; that is, in the personal, social and occupational/ employment areas, is the focus of this study. Information was sought by interviewing twenty health and welfare service providers. In addition, twenty-four refugees were surveyed by means of three questionnaires to ascertain their level of stress and well-being. The results of this study suggest that there are significant numbers of former refugees needing assistance of a Torture and Trauma Rehabilitation Service in South Australia. Problems they present with are not readily identified as resulting from torture/trauma. Moreover, welfare areas are the main public arenas to which survivors turn for help. The findings also suggest that conventional social work practice may be inappropriate to meet the complex needs of refugee survivors. |
