AN INTERNATIONAL MINI CONFERENCE ABOUT

EXIT

EXPRESSIVE ARTS IN TRANSITION

This mini conference is about a group intervention manual (EXIT) for coping with severe stress during and after collective and individual traumatic events. This manual has been implemented with different target groups. Originally the research was carried out with unaccompanied refugee boys. There was a significant reduction in PTSD symptoms and increase in life quality in the EXIT group compared with the control group over time.

The manual focus on stabilization, safety, connection, engagement, empowerment recourses and hope.

The purpose of this mini conference is to give the participants a “window” into different contexts and populations where EXIT has been carried out.

The EXIT research has been published in several peer reviewed scientific journals.
