Abstract

This study of 502 Ukrainian refugees in the U.S. reveals significant trauma yet high resilience, supported by community bonds and cultural practices. A DBT-based program was developed and implemented to address trauma, enhance resilience, and reduce acculturation stress, offering a model for culturally sensitive interventions that support refugee integration.
