Understanding Unaccompanied Minors adjustment and well-being within a transnational family context: an integrative approach
(Guest lecture)
June 20, 2023, | 12:00-13:30 pm
University of Luxembourg, Campus Belval, Maison du Savoir (MSA), MSA 2.400
INVITATION
ABSTRACT
Among immigrant youth, Unaccompanied Minors (UMs) – migrating from their country of origin without their parents – are a unique subpopulation as they face substantial challenges before, during and after migration. Some of the challenges they face are separating from caregivers, dealing with acculturation stressors and traumatic events, experiencing different and unknown contexts alone and during a critical development period, such as adolescence. This presentation will provide an overview of UMs adjustment experiences and well-being within a transnational family context, based on available empirical evidence, and with reference to acculturation, developmental theories and contextual behavioral science.
This presentation is based upon work from COST Action CA21143, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
