Since 2015 an increasing number of refugee children arrived in Germany. The federal government aims to facilitate these children’s access to German culture and language as early as possible. So-called Bridging Projects have been established to facilitate refugee children’s transition to public daycare centers. In this part of our study we focused on teacher reports (CTRF 1.5-5) of 116 young children aged 1.5 to 5 years of age from war vs. non-war torn countries and compared the groups regarding their mental health patterns and prevalence rates.
