Description:

Dalhousie University is partnering with the Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace and Security on a project to bring an end to the use of child soldiers. With funding from the Veteran and Family Well-Being Fund, this research project will be the first of its kind to explore the connections between PTSD and the recruitment and use of children as soldiers. This unique collaboration will offer opportunities to apply this research to multiple fields, including health, security sector reform and child protection. This research will improve our collective understanding of the impact of witnessing child soldiers on military personnel's mental health.
