Improving mental health support for refugees children and young people living in the UK through using trained face- to- face interpreters by service providers’ discuss this statement
Many refugee children and young people need psychological support, as they experience various types of traumas before, during and after their migration journey.
However, research shows that maintaining engagement with both screening and therapeutic health services is challenging mainly due to lack of specialised interpreters used in provision of health services (Sojka and Jolly 2019, 2020, 2022; Portnoy and Ward 2020).
Furthermore, most of the interpreters working with refugee children and young people in the UK have not received specific training (Armitage et al. 2021) posing additional barriers for children communicating their stories.
