Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology: Children and Armed Conflict – February 2017
Peace & Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology published a second special issue, which examines what kinds of interventions at both practice and policy levels are necessary in order to support war-affected children. Spanning several continents and integrating conceptual frameworks related to children’s social ecologies and resilience, the two issues simultaneously deepen our contextual understanding of war-affected children and inspire concerted action to enable healing, peace, and social justice for children in settings of war and political violence.

To help address these critical issues, Peace & Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology published a special issue, which features leading researchers, practitioners, and policy analysts. This issue brings forward empirical, child-led, participatory work that deepens the understanding of the lived experiences of children affected by armed conflict.
