Evidence-based practice, Equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism

Published: February 27, 2026

Our new resource series, Mental Health Care for Children with and Seeking Refugee Protection, offers evidence-based guidance for leaders and service providers to improve mental health services for children facing high needs but limited access to care. It also supports young people, families, and other sectors interested in the evidence behind mental health services for this group.

Our three resources explore practical guidance on:

Enhancing access to mental health care (Service delivery resource)
Conducting effective mental health assessments (Assessment resource)
Providing appropriate, evidence-informed treatment (Treatment resource)
This series equips clinicians with tools and strategies to deliver compassionate, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed care to children and families affected by displacement, conflict, and persecution. Check out our three resources now.
