Although there are various definitions in the literature on well-being, this concept is mostly explained as being healthy in physical, social and psychological aspects. In this study, psychosocial well-being was handled specifically for asylum seekers and refugees affected by forced migration. Forced migration experience has several levels of impact on the well-being of asylum seekers and refugees. These effects are divided into three groups as the effects of pre-migration, migration and post-migration experiences on well-being. At the same time, these processes can cause some psychological complaints among asylum seekers and refugees. In this study, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression are mentioned among the most frequently observed complaints. Further in the study, the factors that protect and improve the well-being of individuals affected by forced migration are handled. In the last part, the relation of the subject with social work and suggestions at the individual / group and community/society levels are given.
