This brief report details the status of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services for Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Minors in Cyprus. Unaccompanied minors constitute a vulnerable group, and they demand complex reception and treatment procedures to meet their protection needs. Therefore, the humanitarian response to ensure their rights is multifaceted and represents a challenge both for the national authorities and NGOs operating in the sector.
The report “Psychosocial Care in Migration: The Case of Unaccompanied Minors in Cyprus” is available here.
This study has been conducted between March and October 2021 by Arianna Tortelli and Federica Migliaccio, interns at the Research & Development Division of “Hope For Children” CRC Policy Center, within the framework of the European Solidarity Corps programme.
