mental health, psychosocial support, forced displacement, language, intercultural mediationAbstract
The article explores the current state of mental health and psychosocial support for forcibly displaced people residing in Slovenia, as they are a marginalized group of special concern and need of support in an intercultural setting. The study collected information through semi-structured interviews with fifteen experts working with forcibly displaced people. The findings encompass specifics, current problems, and what needs to be improved in the field, providing examples of good practices. They underscore the significance of empowerment in an intercultural context and reveal potential challenges linked to state disinterest and inadequate financial support for required services.
