In the study we offer a psychotherapeutic program for adult people who have fled their home country and experienced a trauma (i.e. a dangerous or fear-inducing event). After trauma, many people have psychological problems, such as feeling anxious, sad, or unable to feel emotions. Many have nightmares and unpleasant, sudden memories of the dangerous situation. Many who fit the description have post-traumatic stress disorder. This is a mental illness that is very stressful, but can also be treated well.

In order to make the right diagnosis and to communicate the right therapy offer, it is particularly important that practitioner and patient understand each other linguistically and culturally. With this study we want to test a mobile human-to-human translation system, which is being developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). This cross-cultural translation tool will be used specifically in psychiatric care and facilitate the treatment of refugees with psychiatric illnesses.

Free of charge, anonymous, scientific. The BePrepared Study is aimed at people who fled from Syria, Afghanistan, Iran or Iraq and came to Germany; young adults who have ever drunk alcohol or consumed cannabis. The BePrepared App helps them keep track of their own consumption and provides valuable tips on how to deal with substances safely. The app is available in multiple languages so that anyone can use it without help, anywhere and at any time (Arabic, English, Farsi, German, Pashto).

The aim of this study is to develop a new form of therapy for refugees. This free-of-charge group therapy can help refugees who have had a traumatic experience resulting in distressing feelings. The group therapy is aimed at people who also have an increased consumption of alcohol, drugs, or medicine. During therapy sessions participants will improve their ability to deal with stressful feelings.

ALMAMAR is a newly developed intervention for refugees that supports them in coping with psychological problems (e.g. sadness or anxiety). ALMAMAR is based on a scientifically reviewed program that has already been used successfully in various countries (e.g. Lebanon). The program is either internet-based - on a smartphone or computer - with written contact or face-to-face contact. Participation is free of charge.

We would like to invite you to participate in the free training program for early childhood educators "Cultural Sensitivity and Psychological Stress". The project consists of two parts: a training program for early childhood educators and a scientific study to which the early childhood educators and the parents of the daycare children are invited.
