"What Now? What happens after the emergency tents come down, the triage support is completed, and the first wave of humanitarian response draws back from the spotlight? For displaced populations, the question "What now?" succinctly captures the difficult phase that often follows the meeting of basic short-term needs. Long-term psychological recovery, which fosters resilience, depends not on restoring what was lost but on cultivating an environment that honors past memories while providing resources, tools, and opportunities for individuals to thrive."
"Drawing on FAR Center for Child Protection's qualitative research, we will explore how recovery unfolds across individual, relational, institutional, and cultural systems. Our goal is to help identify repeatable processes that clinicians working with displaced populations worldwide can implement. Reframing Resilience as the Outcome that Matters Our research employs qualitative methods rooted in lived experience, including focus groups with displaced Artsakh Armenians and host-community members, as well as 30 guided interviews across urban and rural Armenia."
Post-emergency recovery for displaced populations involves a difficult phase after basic needs are met, requiring attention beyond short-term humanitarian aid. Long-term psychological recovery fosters resilience by cultivating environments that honor memories while providing resources, tools, economic opportunities, social support, and institutional trust. Qualitative methods included focus groups with displaced Artsakh Armenians and host-community members and thirty guided interviews across urban and rural Armenia. Reframing resilience through Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems framework shifts focus to creating conditions across individual, relational, institutional, and cultural systems. Clinicians can implement repeatable, culturally informed processes to support sustainable recovery and social reintegration.
