Huiselijk geweld komt veel voor. In 2020 waren – volgens het CBS - ongeveer 1,2 miljoen personen van 16 jaar en ouder slachtoffer van een vorm van huiselijk geweld. Bij huiselijk geweld is de pleger iemand uit de huiselijke kring van het slachtoffer. Kindermishandeling is een vorm van huiselijk geweld, maar ook partnergeweld of ouderenmishandeling vallen er bijvoorbeeld onder.

The psychological consequences of trauma related to the Holocaust have been primarily studied in samples derived from Israel, North America, and Western Europe. Few studies have examined postcommunist countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The present study focused on three generations living in the Czech Republic and Slovakia after World War II (WWII): Holocaust survivors (71–95 years of age), their children (30–73 years of age), and their grandchildren (15–48 years of age).

Background

Previous research on barriers and facilitators regarding treatment-seeking of adults with depressive and anxiety disorders has been primarily conducted in the Anglosphere. This study aims to gain insight into treatment-seeking behaviour of adults with depressive and anxiety disorders in a European healthcare system.

Methods

Health care workers worldwide are at an increased risk of a range of adverse mental health outcomes, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), following the unprecedented demand placed upon them during the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychosocial interventions offered to mitigate these risks should be based on the best available evidence; however, limited information regarding the comparative effectiveness of interventions is available. We undertook a systematic review of psychosocial interventions delivered to health care workers before, during, and after disasters.

The literature demonstrates evidence that secondary traumatic stress (STS) and vicarious traumatic stress (VTS) may adversely affect the well-being of refugee relief workers and, thus, the quality of their services.

Stressful experiences in armed conflict incur intergenerational effects through parental behaviors with their children. A recent study reported that among Syrian refugee families, mothers’ (but not fathers’) post-traumatic stress (PTS) impacted children’s emotional processing. In this study, we aim to shed further light on this phenomenon by analyzing how the parenting practices in the context of post-traumatic stress confers protection or risk for children’s emotional processing.

Als kinderen thuis onveilig opgroeien kunnen zij daar ernstige gevolgen van ondervinden. Zeker als er geen volwassene is die hen helpt hun situatie te begrijpen en op wie zij kunnen terugvallen. De kans dat zij allerlei (trauma)klachten ontwikkelen is groot. Soms tot ver in hun volwassen leven.

In het kader van de viering van "vijftig jaar bevrijding", in mei 1995, werd door de EO een aantal historische documentaires samengesteld. In deze docu's vertellen oud-verzetsmensen over hun motivatie en ervaringen in het verzet tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, zoals dat vorm kreeg binnen het verband van de Landelijke Organisatie voor hulp aan onderduikers (LO) en Landelijke Knokploegen (LKP).

Around 57,000 people live in Al Hol camp in North East Syria - 64% of them are children. Almost 50% of the camp’s population are under the age of 12. Originally established in 1991, Al Hol was reopened in 2016 when anti-ISIS operations began in Iraq, sending thousands of Iraqi civilians across the border into Syria in search of safety. From 2016 to 2018 there was an influx of Syrian internally displaced people (IDPs). During the final offensive against ISIS in Hajin and Baghouz in early 2019, the camp’s population skyrocketed from approximately 9,800 people to over 73,000 people.
