Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Social Work

Background:

  • Unaccompanied minors are vulnerable children separated from family, facing significant stressors and psychiatric symptoms.
  • Specialized mental health care is crucial for this population.
  • This study examines the Multimodal Co-Therapy for Unaccompanied Minors (MUCTUM) program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore unaccompanied minors' lived experiences with the MUCTUM program.
  • To understand the effectiveness of a multimodal, co-therapy approach in addressing the mental health needs of refugee youth.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews with 16 unaccompanied minors.
  • Analysis of interviews using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).
  • MUCTUM involves a co-therapy team: psychiatrist, psychologist, interpreter, and caseworker.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported feeling misunderstood, strange, and lonely prior to MUCTUM.
  • Experiencing triple stigmatization: as unaccompanied minors, trauma survivors, and mental health patients.
  • Key therapeutic domains identified: safe space, helpful interventions, and narrative expression.

Conclusions:

  • MUCTUM therapy effectively supports unaccompanied minors' mental health by addressing their needs holistically.
  • Key strategies include creating safety, culturally appropriate care, patient-centered therapy, and limited reparenting.
  • Delayed, progressive trauma inquiry and further research are recommended.
