Finally, the book provides policy recommendations on how to promote the well-being of immigrant and refugee families.

Positive adjustment among internal migrants. Experiences of Syrian and Iraqian asylum seekers. Preventive interventions for immigrant youth. Fostering cross-cultural friendships with the ViSC Anti-Bullying Program.
