Contact: Dr Paraskevi Argyriou

In this module, we will address the concept of vulnerability within three contexts: (1) Humanitarian, focusing on war affected children/youth groups and forcibly displaced families, (2) Educational, focusing on students with mental health risks and their families, (3) Workplace, focusing on minority employees. We will discuss theoretical perspectives around vulnerability, case studies outlining the factors shaping vulnerability and the needs of vulnerable groups, and the current trends in psychological practice and policies to support those groups.
