When people are displaced, the physical needs of providing food, water and shelter are prioritised, but the effects of war and forced displacement go beyond just physical impacts and needs. The mental health needs of people who have been displaced often go unmet for reasons ranging from stigma to lack of resources. In this episode, Selma shares her journey from being made a refugee because of the Bosnian Genocide to finding her way to becoming a psychotherapist to guide others through their trauma.
