title = "Is trauma counselling the missing link? Enhancing socio-economic resilience among post-war IDPs in Northern Uganda",
abstract = "The civil war in Northern Uganda left communities traumatised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although many government programmes have been implemented for rehabilitation, those with PTSD are often unable to grasp the opportunities presented due to underlying trauma. This study found that psycho-social support and trauma counselling increases the ability of people with PTSD to cope with hazard and misfortune. Importantly, the study found that psycho-social support directly and significantly increases socio-economic resilience and enhances the effects of social protection programmes.",
