Dance and movement therapy (DMT) for war-affected children in Sierra Leone and South Sudanese refugee in the US

This type of intervention aims to build self-confidence, improve emotional regulation, and foster resilience and recovery by using culturally relevant designs. Although there is no published data on the long-term sustaining of the effects of DMT on outcomes such as aggressive behavior, depression, anxiety, intrusive recollections, and elevated arousal. There are qualitative reports indicating that DMT is highly feasible in a postwar context in terms of emphasizing group cohesion and preventive and reparative capacities.
