abstract="This study explored posttraumatic growth (PTG) among refugee citizens of Cote d'Ivoire (aged 18 to 56 years; M = 37.4 years) affected by living in asylum in Liberia (M = 167.5 days). Research focused on use of the Companion Recovery (CR) model as a means to educate participants on how to process trauma, focus on finding meaning, and implementing positive change as a result of the traumatic struggles they experienced. The hypothesis was that the CR model would promote PTG in Ivorian participants. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that the use of the CR model was instrumental in increasing PTG in the participants. Implications for future research, as well as research in a cross-cultural emergent environment, are addressed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
