This volume bridges historical insights with current challenges, offering strategies for rehabilitating conflict-affected youth. It synthesizes knowledge from diverse fields to support victims of war and displacement. The work transforms past experiences into actionable support, equipping professionals with insights to reshape child rehabilitation in conflict zones, underscoring the importance of historical lessons in addressing present-day crises.
