dc.description.abstractDespite the evidence on the role of parental factors, especially attachment relationships, in mediating complex trauma experienced by refugee children, there is limited evidence on the use of attachment-based interventions. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of adapting such an intervention, group theraplay, for refugee children in Turkey. Fifteen child-parent dyads participated, and completed measures on attachment relationships, child mental health and parenting strategies. Children engaged with the intervention, whilst it proved more difficult to involve parents regularly. There was a significant improvement in children's post-traumatic stress and other common mental health symptoms, as well as parent-rated attachment relationship difficulties. Attachment-based modalities using play, activities and games can be particularly useful for children and families with cultural and language challenges. Therapeutic interventions for refugee children and families should be integrated with other types of support within a multimodal service approach.en_US
