本文调查了影响重新安置的难民父母预见青少年未来并支持他们制定和实现目标的能力的因素。报告的依据是对来自非洲、亚洲、欧洲和中东的10个难民家庭在抵达澳大利亚墨尔本两三年后进行的一项研究的结果。对调查结果的分析借鉴了安东诺夫斯基的“一致性意识”框架，以突出帮助难民父母谈判他们的社会环境和发展他们的家庭的未来现实的抱负的条件。这一框架还被用来指出收容社区如何最好地协助难民家庭指导和支持其子女，从而克服重新安置后可能发生的一些潜在的代际冲突。
This paper investigates the factors which influence the ability of resettled refugee parents to envisage their adolescents' futures and support them in setting and achieving goals. It is based on the findings of a study of 10 refugee families from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, two to three years after they had arrived in Melbourne, Australia. Analysis of the findings draws on Antonovsky's 'sense of coherence' framework to highlight the conditions which assist refugee parents to negotiate their social environment and develop realistic ambitions for their families' futures. This framework is also used to point to ways in which refugee families might best be assisted by host communities to guide and support their children and thus overcome some of the potential intergenerational conflicts which can occur following resettlement.
