What is the prism family study?
The PRISM Family study is a research project conducted by the Refugee Trauma and Recovery Program at UNSW, in collaboration with the Australian Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red Cross. We aim to understand the psychological impact of having a missing or separated family member, as well as how people cope with having a missing or separated family member over time.
