Ukraine
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, millions of people have fled. In Germany, too, there are currently more than one million refugees from Ukraine. War events, flight experiences, losses and other traumatic experiences can be triggers for substance use or an addiction disease.
Arabic
The Arabic language belongs to a family of related languages spoken in different regions of the Middle East and North Africa. Arabic is the mother tongue of refugees from various countries, such as Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Libya.
Dari/Farsi
Dari and Farsi are related Persian languages. Dari is one of the official languages of Afghanistan, Farsi is spoken in Iran. They are so similar that speakers of one language can understand the other. Due to this similarity, we have grouped both languages under a single category on this portal.
Russian
There are relatively many resources on addiction topics for Russian-speaking migrants. These resources can also be used by many refugees from Ukraine, since the majority of Ukrainians can at least read and understand Russian.
