Post-migration effect of Syrian Refugees in Nijmegen, Netherlands

In Europe, the refugee crisis is a big issue. The Netherlands is one of the most remarkable countries in Europe which accepts a lot of refugees. Refugees are the people who are forced to leave their countries because of war, persecution and conflict. The Syrian refugee crisis is the greatest humanitarian crisis in a generation. The devastating conflict began with the Syrian Civil War in 2011 and then it has become the never-ending complex war. It creates extreme brutality which destroyed economic and national wealth and half a million people have been killed. They escaped from their country and they are bearing the title of a Syrian refugee. The highest numbers of refugee are from Syria in the Netherlands. After coming to the host countries, refugees have to go through many challenges, experiences and difficulties which are known as post-migration stressors. These stressors affect their mental health condition and it hampers their socio-economic integration in the society. For that, in this research, I will try to explain the effect of post-migration stressors on mental health and also how mental health influence the socio-economic integration of refugees.
