Re-settlement
It should be appreciated that the victim may have
significant longer term health care needs. Initially victims may
exhibit symptoms of anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
However, in the medium term this may turn into depression and possible
suicidal thoughts. After-care and support must be available.
For those victims under consideration of being
returned home to their country of origin, links should be made where
possible to voluntary return schemes and liaison established with
NGOs in the country of origin..
