Boosting Refugee Integration Through Psychological Intervention

"Problem Management Plus (PM+) is a brief, psychological intervention program based on CBT techniques that are empirically supported and formally recommended by the WHO. The full protocol was developed by the WHO and the University of New South Wales, Australia. The manual involves the following empirically supported elements: problem solving plus stress management, behavioural activation, facing fears, and accessing social support. These elements have been recommended in recent WHO guidelines.~Additionally, the original five PM+ sessions will be augmented in two ways. First, the participants will receive three 30-45-minutes telephone booster sessions 10, 22, and 34 weeks after the final original PM+ session. The second augmentation strategy involves handouts and homework reminders."
