Abstract

Unaccompanied migrant youth experience marginalization. In addition, due to their experience before, during and post-migration, they are exposed to mental health risks. Thus, they would benefit from technology enabled mental health support. In this paper, I propose a shift away from viewing resilience development as a responsibility of the individual towards promoting resilience from an ecological approach. This paper presents the social-ecological model of resilience as a design framework to map out the design space of technology enabled mental health support for this and similar context.
