Meeting between a mother in exile and her child in a mother-baby unit

Abstract

Asylum-seeking mothers face numerous traumatic reactivations during the perinatal period due to the psychological vulnerability specific to this period. These situations of cumulative vulnerability between exile and perinatal care present professionals with new challenges in the socio-sanitary field. Births are precious for the constitution of tomorrow's generations. Thus, it is necessary to provide appropriate assistance to these parents and babies.
