By means of the empirical cross-case analysis (mixed-methods approach) in Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo, this project addresses the following research questions: How does the experience of inter-ethnic violence, large scale war displacement and protracted transitioning affect the psycho-social health of women forced-migrants in each of the three environments? What is the state of their psycho-social well-being including both distress and resilience factors in these challenging social environments? What is the nature of the psycho-social support, public and non-governmental, formal and informal, provided to this population? What should be done to address the psycho-social needs identified among this population, and to fill the gaps in the existing policies and programmes? Which good practices (if any) could authorities and different national, regional and international stakeholders take on to improve the access to and the practice of psycho-social services to women forced- migrants in these three countries? The main objectives were A)To map out the psycho-social health of women forced migrants, including the weaknesses and strengths of their psycho-social functioning, by focusing on different categories in each country of research – returnees in BiH and Kosovo; displaced persons and refugees in BiH; in Kosovo and Serbia; B) To identify the resources of the centers for social work, mental health centers, NGOs and other agencies involved in prevention work and promotion of mental health, and in the provision of psycho-social services; C) To exchange micro data and conduct a comparative analysis relevant to the regional macro level, regarding the state of psycho-social health among women forcedmigrants; D) To produce recommendations regarding best practices.
