This paper focuses on the question of whether separate attention to children who have faced specific conflict-related events is justified, or whether the scarce resources for mental health should be spent on the development of services for children more broadly in low- and middle-income countries (where most contemporary armed conflicts are taking place). It is argued that a systems approach to mental health and psychosocial support for children is warranted.
本文关注的问题是,单独关注那些经历过特定冲突相关事件的儿童是否合理,或者在低收入和中等收入国家(大多数当代武装冲突发生的地方),心理健康的稀缺资源是否应更广泛地用于为儿童发展服务。有人认为,对儿童心理健康和心理社会支持采取系统方法是必要的。
