Background summary
Suffering from mental health problems constitutes a major obstacle for
succesful integration into Dutch society for refugees. The majority of refugees
reports one or more psychiatric disorder, often related to previously
experienced traumatic events. To those refugees whose problems are of such
severe nature that mental health treatment is indicated, AMC de Meren offers
the Equator day care treatment. Equator day care treatment aims at the
decrease of trauma related mental health problems. Moreover, the treatment aims
at strengthening the patient's self relience, and offers techniques for the
improvement of social (re)integration. This study has the objective to
evaluate Equator day care treatment and to distinguish point of reference for
the improvement of the treatment. Consequently the study hopes to increase the
body of knowledge with respect to the relationship between mental health and
social integration.
