Abstract:
This article focuses on the resiliency of refugee families and the various ways that pediatric practitioners can use and strengthen those resiliencies in the course of pediatric health care delivery. It reviews common stressors experienced by refugees, information about the concept of resilience, aspects of culturally responsive health care, and clinical recommendations. In addition, 3 cases are presented that highlight both resiliencies of refugee families and successful interventions by pediatric health care providers within the pediatric refugee clinic at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
