Narrative Therapy for Ukrainian Refugees with Trauma and Depression

This trial is testing Narrative Exposure Therapy, a structured talking therapy designed to help people process and recover from traumatic experiences. The study focuses on Ukrainian refugees living in Norway who arrived after February 2022 and are experiencing symptoms of trauma, depression, or dissociation. Researchers want to see whether this treatment can meaningfully improve mental health and quality of life for this vulnerable population.

Many Ukrainian refugees have experienced severe trauma and are struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. While this treatment exists and has helped people in other settings, researchers want to understand how well it works specifically for Ukrainian refugees in Norway and to make sure it's delivered in a culturally sensitive, accessible way.
