Among children and youth, most mental health services are provided by schools, so schools are an important service provider for young refugees. We conducted a systemic literature review to synthesize and evaluate the existing research on school-based interventions to improve mental health or social-emotional functioning of students who are refugees, asylum seekers, or immigrants with war trauma. Three types of school-based interventions were identified: cognitive behavioral therapy, creative expression, and multitiered or multimodal models. The review identified several interventions with positive effects, as well as multiple interventions that had null or negative effects. We address the implications of this body of intervention research for practice and research.}, number = {2}, journal = {Review of Educational Research}, author = {Sullivan, Amanda L and Simonson, Gregory R}, year = {2016}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.3102/0034654315609419 2405685:6RLK9Z2D 2405685:P8H8TNUJ}, keywords = {cognitive behavioral therapy, creative expression therapy, intervention, refugee, school}, pages = {503--530}, }
