FOr those who have known war and immigrate to another country

Here are some suggestions I would like to see implemented for new immigrants.

It is important to learn about the new culture and the ways of the country of adoption. But, it is also important to have in place some special services for people who have known war. This should apply to all those who have been traumatized by bombings, the fear of loss of life, knowing gun fire or the incessant noise of bombs.

Here are some suggestions:

1. Person traumatized by war should be given help, which includes post traumatic stress disorder treatment and counseling.
2. Victims of war should be helped to re-adjust to life
3. Woman and children should be helped; if women were raped they should get counseling as for children they should be given special treatment.

If a person gets help when they first arrive it will help them adjust and also relieve some of the stress associated with the terror of war. Too many times a person is left alone, without help, hence they isolate the pain, refuse to talk about it and in the long run they hurt themselves and maybe others.
