Journal Article
Syrian refugees’ mental health is top priority
2015
Overview
[Kevin Pottie] emphasises the importance of not retraumatizing Syrian refugees or forcing them to deal with the trauma before they are ready. \"We actually recommend not screening for trauma,\" he says. \"You take someone who has been struggling to survive, and then by screening them you can take them back into a really bad context.\" Meeting the health needs of thousands of Syrian refugees will not be easy, [Meb Rashid] admits. \"It's really the scope of this. If we're looking at tens of thousands of people, we haven't seen those types of numbers before.\" As well, he and other doctors are concerned that the current lack of full health coverage for privately sponsored refugees under the Interim Federal Health Program will make it difficult to meet Syrian refugees' health needs. Despite this, Rashid and his colleagues across the country, from Toronto to Vancouver to Halifax - where a new clinic for refugees has just opened - say they are ready for the challenge. \"We're starting to ramp things up,\" says Rashid. \"There's tremendous goodwill among all Canadians, and certainly within the health care community, to make sure these people get the health care they need.\" - Michael Colborne, Edmonton, Alta.
