| Abstract | Globally people are displaced from their countries of origin due to war, traumatic exposure, atrocities, poverty, and climate change. Migration unfolds in distinct phases, namely the time in the country of origin, the journey to the new country, and the adaptation in the new country. All these phases have numerous challenges and adversities. This research focused on the life stories of migrants in the North West province, South Africa, to develop guidelines for trauma-informed social work. Narrative inquiry guided the research and data were collected with semi-structured interviews supported with visual data collection strategies (photo elicitation, a timeline, and the Tree of Life). Data were thematically analysed. Findings will be presented in the framework of the three time-spans. The challenges of the border crossing into South Africa of undocumented migrants were a particular concern. The presentation will conclude with guidelines for trauma-informed social work with migrants. |
