ENHANCING SOCIAL INCLUSION AND WELL-BEING FOR REFUGEE FAMILIES

In Belgium, competences of migration (e.g., asylum and family reunification) and so-called “integration” (e.g., education, work and housing) are divided between federal, regional and municipal governance levels, while support services are dispersed across a range of civil society organizations and state actors.

IDENTIFYING POLICY GAPS TO THE SOCIAL INCLUSION AND WELL-BEING OF REFUGEE FAMILIES

As a reaction to the Russian invasion in Ukraine, the European Union decided to grant temporary protection to Ukrainians (and their family members) as well as stateless persons and third-country nationals with an international protection status (and their family members) in Ukraine, fleeing the war.

HOW POLICIES CAN FOSTER THE WELL-BEING OF REFUGEE FAMILIES

In the second part of this project, we examine the impact of policy gaps and emerging structures on refugee families’ psychosocial well-being.
