MIGRATION PROCESS AND ITS EFFECTS ON MENTAL HEALTH
Faruk BOZDAĞ
Filiz BİLGE
Migration, especially immigrants, causes significant changes in the lives of individual.
Although immigrants may face with several problems related to mental health, disciplines that
examine mental health such as counseling, psychology and psychiatry have not been
adequately interested in this issue. Identifying problems of immigrants will provide host
society to understand their problems better. In this study, problems of immigrants are
discussed as three stages, pre-migration, migration and post-migration. Immigrants take
place extensively among targeted groups of counselors offering mental health services at
many different institutions. For this reason, the results are evaluated for mental health
professionals, especially counselors.

Refugee Children from the point of School Administrators and Teachers’ Experiences

In the present study, perceptions of Turkish school administrators and teachers towards Syrian refugee children were examined through metaphors. 71 school administrators and 242 teachers from 27 different provinces of Turkey participated in the study. As a result of the study, the metaphors produced by school administrators were grouped into four categories: "child with cultural adaptation and belonging problems", "fragile and needy child", "child who is no different from other children" and "problematic child". The metaphors produced by teachers were grouped into six categories: "child with cultural adaptation and belonging problems", "child who is no different from other children", "fragile and needy child", "problematic child", "child who can reveal her/his potential with interest" and "compatible child". Participants' perceptions of refugee children were not related to gender but there was a significant relationship between professional seniority and the number of refugee children at school. Although school administrators and teachers have positive perceptions about refugee children, their negative perceptions are largely due to the lack of professional experience and the high number of students at school. Providing vocational support to teachers and administrators, planning the number of students in schools, and providing resources to schools will improve positive perceptions about refugee children.
