The availability of mental health and psychosocial services for trafficked and exploited people in Cambodia: A qualitative study

A qualitative study exploring the availability of mental health and psychosocial services for trafficked and exploited people in Cambodia. Authors discuss the prevalence of mental illness in Cambodia, the development of mental health services and analyse treatments for their availability, accessibility, accommodation of client needs, affordability and acceptability. Authors conclude that access to services is limited by geographical distribution; the scarcity of professionals and training options for existing staff, and a narrow focus on victims who are willing to enter residential shelter models.
