A critical analysis of mental health services and ‘care’ provision among the women and adolescent refugees in Palestine.

Abstract

A broad range of discussion is going around the globe in relation to Israeli-Palestine conflict, which is still going on. But in each discussion, we are vaguely looking into the life of the displaced Palestinians. Women and children are considered as the most vulnerable population even though there are a lot of law implemented and proposed to protect them; it often ends up making more damages than reconstructing. Here in this postgraduate research study, we are looking into the spectrum of service provision and mental health services provided among the women and adolescents in Palestine. We are also looking into the ways in which mental health and psychosocial supports help, protect and guide them; where it needed to be changed for the betterment of the community through peer reviewed research papers from databases such as PubMed, EBSCO, UN agencies and books published in relation to the topic. Here in this research, the researcher looks at the service providers, provision and how it is helping the population to overcome the constant traumatic experience they are facing in their daily life and the concept that gives them hope to move forward.
