* intergenerational trauma and the impact of forced migration combined with acculturation and enculturation pressures upon the next generation
* expressions of ambiguous grief, traumatic grief and traumatic homesickness associated with generation 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 refugees
* strategies to utilize in clinical and community settings to facilitate individual and collective well-being and resiliency for refugees
