Abstract

The number and the cultural diversity of unaccompanied refugee minors who arrived in Germany during the past few months present a major challenge. Social integration is one of the major objectives; however, social integration can be restricted by the broad variety of expectations, different systems of values, and psychological stress. Psychological support, psychotherapy, and offers from youth welfare services are able to reduce many problems and provide valuable comprehensive care services. © 2016 Hogrefe Verlag.
