Abstract: Au les travaux portant sur la nature et l’aventure ont connu un essor important, et ce, dans différents champs disciplinaires. Des effets sont démontrés sur la santé, qui se manifestent grâce à différentes pratiques centrées sur la nature et l’aventure (PCNA). Dans le but de circonscrire leur place dans l’univers psychosocial, cet article met en relief les bases théoriques sur lesquelles elles s’appuient ainsi que les effets répertoriés. Pour y arriver, il sera d’abord question de la définition des PCNA, des différents courants disciplinaires dont elles sont issues et des théories les soutenant. Par la suite, les bénéfices sur les plans physiologique, psychologique et social seront brièvement exposés, suivis d’une proposition d’un spectre les intégrant sur une trame évolutive. Finalement, les forces, les limites et les enjeux reliés à l’implantation des PCNA en travail social seront mis en évidence. ABSTRACT: In the last twenty years, research on nature and adventure has grown significantly in different fields of expertise. Effects on health have been demonstrated through various practices centred on nature and adventure (PCNA). To define their place in the psychosocial universe, this article highlights the theoretical principles on which they are based as well as the effects that have been documented. To this end, the definition of these practices will first be exposed, followed by the different disciplinary currents from which they originate and the theories supporting them. Then, the physiological, psychological, and social benefits on health will be briefly presented followed by a spectrum integrating them on an evolving framework. Finally, the strengths, limitations and issues related to the implementation of PCNA in social work will be highlighted.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors give case studies of mental health and psychosocial support activities linked to climate change-related emergencies in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe.
Abstract: Climate change is now recognised as contributing to an increasing number of emergencies globally, which are having substantial effects on mental health and wellbeing of affected populations. In this report, we give case studies of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) activities linked to climate change-related emergencies in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. The emergencies range from floods and cyclones to drought and food scarcity, often in complex humanitarian settings including conflict affected regions. A range of activities, based on the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Guidelines for MHPSS in emergency settings, are discussed, many of which also focus on inclusion of people with disabilities. These include preparedness and resilience building as well as responses such as provision of basic needs, strengthening community capacity to provide psychosocial support and mental health system strengthening. We conclude that meeting basic needs is an essential prerequisite to address mental distress, that MHPSS is an essential component of any climate change-related response, that advance preparedness and adaptation is a good investment, and that meaningful participation of people in the global South, particularly marginalised communities such as people with disabilities and the very poor, is essential for the transformative change needed in addressing climate change.

TL;DR: In this article , the efficacy of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) in treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety among Syrian refugees who have experienced war trauma was examined.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) in treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety among Syrian refugees who have experienced war trauma. Clinicians interviewed 94 patients and asked them to complete the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale three times: pretreatment, posttreatment and at the 12-month follow-up. In addition, PTSD, depression and anxiety were assessed using the PTSD Checklist, Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory at pretreatment, weekly, posttreatment and 12-month follow-up. At posttreatment evaluation, CPT led to decreases in PTSD, depression and anxiety (Ps < 0.000). These decreases continued after a year of follow-up (Ps < 0.000). Among Syrian refugees, the symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety all showed significant improvement after receiving CPT.
