How can the difficult psychosocial living situation of unaccompanied minor refugees be improved? Based on interviews with former affected individuals and caregivers from various youth welfare institutions, Brigitte Hargasser examines the previously overlooked perspective of the youth regarding their experiences with residential youth care. She breaks down both negative and supportive experiences. Following this, Hargasser formulates criticisms aimed at politics and society. The foundation for her work includes information about general and legal backgrounds, the living situation of unaccompanied minor refugees, and current trauma theories. It is often overlooked that traumas are processes that continue in the host country, and under the given conditions, the staff are also involved in these processes.
