Abstract

This paper tackles the negative impacts of war turbulences on individuals, families and groups. Given the lack of stabilizing factors in families, the author examines positive and protective factors supporting child development in post-war situations. He concludes that after periods of turmoil school as supportive system starts functioning even before family systems and therefore school can serve as a protective factor for children. The author also discusses the role of school as a resource and protective factor for children's mental health and psychosocial development.
