Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his/her own potential, can cope with the normal stress of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his/her community (World Health Organization, 2004). War and disasters have the greatest impact on mental health and psychosocial well-being. A considerable number of child refugees enter Europe to seek refuge from ongoing conflict and war in their home countries. Refugee children are at greater risk of psychological distress than non-refugee children and they may develop symptoms such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, physical problems or become aggressive. Trauma can impact the children’s physical well-being, cognitive development and psychological/emotional well-being and behavior. Therefore, these children are identified as having unique; however, urgent mental health needs requiring timely interventions. According to these findings, in this article the author is trying to explain the mental health problems and interventions among two refugee children (brother and sister) who stayed in the Transit Centre “Vinojug” in Gevgelija, Republic of Macedonia, two years ago. They had significant psychological disturbances such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, because they lost their home and their father. They have been here only with their pregnant mother. At the beginning they needed individual psychiatric or psychological support, but later also group psycho-social support. Verbal, art and game-based interventions proved effective in reducing the PTSD symptoms and depression. After that, the children showed positive emotions such as gratitude, hope, happiness, and optimism. At the same time they started to attend the local school and the first words in Macedonian language were: “Hello, how are you?” They have already learned the Macedonian language and counted in Macedonian; they knew how to ask for water and learned the basic terms. Hence, when they left the Transit Center with their mother, they were very sad: “Here we have many new friends who help and love us”. Our study provides a strong evidence base regarding the use of verbal and clinical interventions for PTSD and emotional and behavioral difficulties, respectively. Also, the main goal of the psychological workshop is stimulation of the copy strategies, resilience and psychosocial development through structured playful activities such as voice, movement, painting, drawing, song, sound.

Refugee children and adolescents are deprived of a happy childhood and youth. School is a place where they can feel confident and comfortable and where they can bring their lives back to normal. But we have to learn and understand the effects of trauma and learn skills that are helpful in the integration process. Dance and theatre classes provide them with opportunities to express themselves. Foundations and stu-dents can help the school in its work. It is also essential to exchange experience. I attempt to provide insights into a diverse range of experience and possibilities, also from a pedagogical point of view.

This article presents an overview of research on the importance and effectiveness of art therapy methods in immigrant and refugee children. The literature on the subject indicates an increased risk of problems in the area of both mental and physical health in immigrants and their children. Refugees and their children are in a particularly difficult situation because, in addition to the challenges of adapting to a new place of settlement, they also experience trauma related to the country of origin. Among the therapeutic interactions and work with refugee and immigrant children, art therapy has a special place. The article adopts a broad definition of it, according to which it is “all forms and methods of therapeutic assistance in which various fields of art are used: painting, drawing, literature, music, dance, drama”. A review of studies examining the importance of art therapy in the context of improving psychological functioning in various age groups of immigrant and refugee children is presented. It turns out that the therapeutic impact with the use of art may be important in the context of coping for dealing with the problems experienced by these groups of people.

W niniejszym artykule zaprezentowano przegląd badań, które dotyczyły znaczenia i skuteczności metod arteterapii u dzieci imigrantów i uchodźców. W literaturze przedmiotu wskazuje się na zwiększone ryzyko problemów w obszarze zarówno zdrowia psychicznego, jak i zdrowia fizycznego u imigrantów i ich dzieci. W szczególnie trudnej sytuacji znajdują się uchodźcy i ich dzieci, którzy poza wyzwaniami związanymi z adaptacją w nowym miejscu osiedlenia mają również doświadczenie traumy z kraju pochodzenia. Wśród oddziaływań terapeutycznych i pracy z dziećmi uchodźców i imigrantów szczególne miejsce zajmuje terapia sztuką, czyli arteterapia. W artykule przyjęto szeroką jej definicję, zgodnie z którą są to „wszelkie formy i metody pomocy terapeutycznej, przy których wykorzystuje się różne dziedziny sztuki: malarstwo, rysunek, literaturę, muzykę, taniec, dramę”. Dokonano przeglądu badań, w których sprawdzano znaczenie arteterapii w kontekście poprawy funkcjonowania psychologicznego w zróżnicowanych wiekowo grupach dzieci imigrantów i uchodźców. Okazuje się, że oddziaływanie terapeutyczne z wykorzystaniem sztuki może mieć znaczenie w kontekście radzenia sobie z problemami doświadczanymi przez te grupy osób.
