According to collected data, the most important factors for enhancing the well-being of refugee children and adolescents are: the aimed interventions for developing language tools, providing social support (instrumental and emotional) for individuals and families, facilitating psychological counseling or personal development intervention (e.g., through artistic activities) and participating in multicultural activities, both in formal and informal educational settings.The main implication of this study is for the professionals working with Ukrainian children and adolescents in Romania, as it brings relevant data regarding this population's struggles and potential solutions for facilitating their well-being, through the transition and adjustment process to a new country and culture.
