This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing an expanded version of Problem Management Plus (PM+), a brief psychological support program developed by the World Health Organization. The program teaches practical coping skills like problem-solving, stress management, and ways to stay active and connected with others. Researchers want to see if adding extra phone sessions and homework reminders makes this treatment work even better for refugees and asylum seekers dealing with the stress and trauma of displacement.
Refugees and asylum seekers often experience significant mental health challenges due to traumatic experiences and ongoing stress, but many face barriers to getting help—like long waiting lists, language difficulties, and cultural stigma. This trial aims to test whether this treatment can be successfully delivered in regular healthcare systems to reach more people who urgently need support.

If you join the treatment group, you will attend five in-person sessions with a trained counselor who will teach you practical coping skills, plus three follow-up phone calls over several months to help reinforce what you've learned. You'll also receive handouts and reminders to practice these skills at home. If you're assigned to the waiting-list control group, you'll wait 12 months before receiving the same treatment. The study will check in with you at baseline and again at three months to see how you're doing.
