Abstract
Up until a decade ago, research focusing on the stress and mental problems suffered by humanitarian workers attempting to help traumatized individuals in complex emergency situations were scarce (Adams, Boscarion, & Figley, 2006) and the main area of research revolved around the wellbeing of peacekeepers and armed personnel, and the traumatic events they were facing (Cardozo et al., 2005). Research on the mental health and wellbeing of peace workers is still limited, but there has been a slight shift of attention.
