2011年,也就是我在曼彻斯特大学
01:13
In 2011, I was a first-year第一年 PhD博士 student学生
17
61920
3336
01:17
in the University大学 of Manchester曼彻斯特
School学校 of Psychological心理 Sciences科学.
18
65280
3200
心理科学院读博的第一年。
就像你们中的很多人那样,
01:21
Like many许多 of you here,
19
69040
1456
01:22
I watched看着 the crisis危机 in Syria叙利亚
unfold展开 in front面前 of me on the TV电视.
20
70520
3000
我在电视上目睹了叙利亚危机。
01:26
My family家庭 is originally本来 from Syria叙利亚,
21
74560
2296
我的家庭原本就来自叙利亚,
01:28
and very early on,
22
76880
1256
再之前,
01:30
I lost丢失 several一些 family家庭 members会员
in really horrifying可怕的 ways方法.
23
78160
2680
以那种真正可怕的方式,
我失去了一些家庭成员。
01:33
I'd sit and I'd gather收集 with my family家庭
and watch the TV电视.
24
81760
2680
我和我的家人一起,
坐下来看电视。
01:37
We've我们已经 all seen看到 those scenes场景:
25
85200
1416
我们都看过那些景象:
01:38
bombs炸弹 destroying销毁 buildings房屋,
26
86640
2056
炸弹摧毁楼房,
01:40
chaos混沌, destruction毁坏
27
88720
1440
混乱,破坏,
01:43
and people screaming尖叫 and running赛跑.
28
91040
1572
人们呼喊着,奔逃着。
那些嘶声裂肺的喊叫,逃跑的人们,
是最让我感触深刻的,
01:45
It was always the people screaming尖叫
and running赛跑 that really got me the most,
29
93440
3936
01:49
especially特别 those
terrified-looking吓坏了的前瞻性 children孩子.
30
97400
2240
特别是,那些面露惊恐的孩子们。
我是两个年幼的,
好奇心旺盛的孩子们的母亲。
01:53
I was a mother母亲 to two young年轻,
typically一般 inquisitive好奇 children孩子.
31
101400
3696
01:57
They were five and six then,
32
105120
1576
他们当时大概是五六岁的样子,
01:58
at an age年龄 where they typically一般
asked lots and lots of questions问题,
33
106720
3056
在那样的年龄,他们通常
喜欢问好多好多的问题,
02:01
and expected预期 real真实, convincing使人信服 answers答案.
34
109800
2120
期待着真实的,具有说服力的答案。
所以,我就开始思考,
如果我要在战争区,难民营
02:05
So, I began开始 to wonder奇迹
what it might威力 be like
35
113120
2656
02:07
to parent my children孩子
in a war战争 zone and a refugee难民 camp.
36
115800
3400
抚养我的孩子会是怎样的呢?
我的孩子们会变得不一样吗?
02:12
Would my children孩子 change更改?
37
120240
1320
我的女儿那明亮的,
带笑的眼睛会失去神采吗?
02:14
Would my daughter's女儿的 bright,
happy快乐 eyes眼睛 lose失去 their shine闪耀?
38
122680
3200
我的儿子那放松的,无忧无虑的性情
会变得胆怯而孤僻吗?
02:18
Would my son's儿子 really relaxed轻松 and carefree畅快
nature性质 become成为 fearful可怕 and withdrawn取消?
39
126520
5000
我又该如何应对呢?
02:24
How would I cope应付?
40
132800
1240
我会变得不一样吗?
02:27
Would I change更改?
41
135440
1200
作为心理学家兼家长培训员,
02:30
As psychologists心理学家 and parent trainers培训师,
42
138640
2216
02:32
we know that arming武装 parents父母
with skills技能 in caring爱心 for their children孩子
43
140880
3896
我们知道教导家长育儿的技巧
02:36
can have a huge巨大 effect影响
on their well-being福利,
44
144800
2560
对他们孩子的健康成长
会有巨大的作用
我们把这称为家长培训。
02:40
and we call this parent training训练.
45
148200
1880
而我提出的问题就是,
02:42
The question I had was,
46
150680
1936
02:44
could parent training训练 programs程式
be useful有用 for families家庭
47
152640
3736
家长培训项目对于仍处于
战争区的,或是难民营的家庭
是否会有用呢?
02:48
while they were still in war战争 zones
or refugee难民 camps营地?
48
156400
3016
02:51
Could we reach达到 them
with advice忠告 or training训练
49
159440
2576
我们是否能够带给他们建议与训练
02:54
that would help them
through通过 these struggles斗争?
50
162040
2120
来帮助他们度过这些挣扎呢?
所以说我就找到了我的博导,
02:57
So I approached接近 my PhD博士 supervisor,
51
165840
2736
03:00
Professor教授 Rachel雷切尔 CalamCalam,
52
168600
1496
雷切尔・卡勒门教授,
03:02
with the idea理念 of using运用 my academic学术的 skills技能
to make some change更改 in the real真实 world世界.
53
170120
4280
和她讲述了我想要运用学术技能
帮助改变现实世界的想法。
我并不是很确定具体想要做什么。
03:06
I wasn't quite相当 sure
what exactly究竟 I wanted to do.
54
174760
2239
她很认真的,耐心的聆听了,
03:10
She listened听了 carefully小心 and patiently耐心地,
55
178040
1856
03:11
and then to my joy喜悦 she said,
56
179920
1576
然后,让我感到
十分高兴的是,她说,
03:13
"If that's what you want to do,
and it means手段 so much to you,
57
181520
2856
“如果你想要这样做,而且
它确实对你意义重大的话,
03:16
then let's do it.
58
184400
1256
让我们一起做吧。
03:17
Let's find ways方法 to see if parent programs程式
59
185680
2976
让我们找找办法,看看是否
能够让家长培训计划
03:20
can be useful有用 for families家庭
in these contexts上下文."
60
188680
2360
对那种背景下的家庭也起效用。”
所以说,在过去的五年当中,
我和我的同事们--
03:23
So for the past过去 five years年份,
myself and my colleagues同事 --
61
191960
2896
03:26
Prof教授. CalamCalam and Dr博士. Kim Cartwright卡特赖特 --
62
194880
2576
卡勒门教授和基姆・卡特莱特博士--
03:29
have been working加工
on ways方法 to support支持 families家庭
63
197480
2216
一直在从事着寻找能帮助那些
03:31
that have experienced有经验的
war战争 and displacement移位.
64
199720
2200
经历过战争或是
背井离乡的家庭的方法。
那么,想要知道如何帮助
那些经历过冲突的家庭
03:35
Now, to know how to help families家庭
that have been through通过 conflict冲突
65
203560
3416
03:39
support支持 their children孩子,
66
207000
1416
养育他们的孩子,
03:40
the first step must必须 obviously明显 be
to ask them what they're struggling奋斗的 with,
67
208440
3816
第一步,当然很明显是去
调查他们正在面对的问题,
03:44
right?
68
212280
1216
对吧?
03:45
I mean, it seems似乎 obvious明显.
69
213520
1376
我的意思是,这应该是挺明确的。
但是,我们想要去帮助的,
常常是那些
03:46
But it's often经常 those
that are the most vulnerable弱势,
70
214920
2376
03:49
that we're trying to support支持,
71
217320
1416
最脆弱的人群,
03:50
that we actually其实 don't ask.
72
218760
1336
而我们其实没有去询问他们。
03:52
How many许多 times have we just assumed假定
we know exactly究竟 the right thing
73
220120
3176
有多少次,我们就擅自假设
我们确切知道什么东西
03:55
that's going to help someone有人 or something
without actually其实 asking them first?
74
223320
3640
能够帮助到他们,
却不事先询问他们?
03:59
So I travelled旅行 to refugee难民 camps营地
in Syria叙利亚 and in Turkey火鸡,
75
227400
3656
所以,我去了叙利亚
和土耳其的难民营,
04:03
and I satSAT with families家庭, and I listened听了.
76
231080
2360
我和那些家庭坐在一起,
聆听他们的视角。
聆听他们的育儿挑战,
04:06
I listened听了 to their parenting育儿 challenges挑战,
77
234240
2736
04:09
I listened听了 to their parenting育儿 struggles斗争
78
237000
2256
聆听他们的育儿困难,
04:11
and I listened听了 to their call for help.
79
239280
2216
聆听他们寻求帮助的声音。
04:13
And sometimes有时 that was just paused暂停,
80
241520
2016
有的时候会突然停下来,
04:15
as all I could do was hold保持 hands with them
81
243560
2056
而我能做的就是牵住他们的手,
04:17
and just join加入 them
in silent无声 crying哭了 and prayer祷告.
82
245640
2200
加入他们无声的哭泣与祈祷当中。
他们和我诉说他们的艰难挣扎,
04:20
They told me about their struggles斗争,
83
248600
2416
04:23
they told me about the rough,
harsh苛刻 refugee难民 camp conditions条件
84
251040
3776
他们告诉我那些艰苦,
严峻的难民营条件,
04:26
that made制作 it hard to focus焦点
on anything but practical实际的 chores琐事
85
254840
3215
这使得他们很难做任何事
而只能将注意力放在像是
04:30
like collecting搜集 clean清洁 water.
86
258079
1801
收集干净水这样的
可以做的杂事上。
他们告诉我他们是如何
目睹孩子们变得孤僻;
04:32
They told me how they watched看着
their children孩子 withdraw收回;
87
260600
2560
那些伤感,压抑,愤怒,
04:35
the sadness, depression萧条, anger愤怒,
88
263920
3176
尿床,吮吸手指,
害怕巨大的声响,
04:39
bed-wetting尿床, thumb-sucking拇指吮吸,
fear恐惧 of loud noises噪音,
89
267120
3176
对噩梦的恐惧--
04:42
fear恐惧 of nightmares噩梦 --
90
270320
1856
可怕,非常可怕的噩梦。
04:44
terrifying可怕的, terrifying可怕的 nightmares噩梦.
91
272200
1720
04:46
These families家庭 had been through通过
what we had been watching观看 on the TV电视.
92
274960
3680
这些家庭经历了那些我们
在电视上看过的画面。
这些母亲--
04:51
The mothers母亲 --
93
279240
1216
她们中几乎一半的人,
因为战争成为了寡妇,
04:52
almost几乎 half of them
were now widows寡妇 of war战争,
94
280480
2176
或者是根本不清楚
她们的丈夫是死是活--
04:54
or didn't even know
if their husbands丈夫 were dead or alive --
95
282680
2776
描述了她们感觉自己
在多么难过地接受一切。
04:57
described描述 how they felt
they were coping应对 so badly.
96
285480
2680
05:01
They watched看着 their children孩子 change更改
and they had no idea理念 how to help them.
97
289480
4056
她们目睹着他们孩子们的改变,
却对此无能为力。
她们不知道该如何回答
她们孩子们的提问。
05:05
They didn't know how to answer回答
their children's儿童 questions问题.
98
293560
2960
我发现的难以置信般惊人的,
鼓舞人心的事情是
05:09
What I found发现 incredibly令人难以置信 astonishing惊人
and so motivational动机
99
297440
3336
05:12
was that these families家庭 were
so motivated动机 to support支持 their children孩子.
100
300800
4896
这些家庭居然这般积极的
去支持他们的孩子们。
05:17
Despite尽管 all these challenges挑战 they faced面对,
101
305720
2416
尽管面临了这么多的挑战,
05:20
they were trying to help their children孩子.
102
308160
2256
他们仍然努力去帮助他们的孩子们。
他们尝试从非政府组织的工作人员,
05:22
They were making制造 attempts尝试
at seeking support支持 from NGO非政府组织 workers工人,
103
310440
3616
从难民营教师那里,
05:26
from refugee难民 camp teachers教师,
104
314080
1896
专业的医务人员,
05:28
professional专业的 medics医务人员,
105
316000
1216
或是其他家长那里寻求帮助。
05:29
other parents父母.
106
317240
1200
我见过的,有一个妈妈,仅仅是
在一个难民营里呆了四天,
05:31
One mother母亲 I met会见 had only been
in a camp for four days,
107
319040
3216
就曾两次试图
05:34
and had already已经 made制作 two attempts尝试
108
322280
1616
为她八岁的,受到噩梦折磨的女儿
05:35
at seeking support支持
for her eight-year-old八岁 daughter女儿
109
323920
2416
05:38
who was having terrifying可怕的 nightmares噩梦.
110
326360
2040
寻求帮助。
05:42
But sadly可悲的是, these attempts尝试
are almost几乎 always useless无用.
111
330000
2920
但可悲的是,这些尝试
大多是无功而返。
难民营的那些医生,
要是有医生的话,
05:45
Refugee难民 camp doctors医生, when available可得到,
112
333680
2056
05:47
are almost几乎 always too busy,
113
335760
1776
总是要么太忙,
05:49
or don't have the knowledge知识 or the time
for basic基本 parenting育儿 supports支持.
114
337560
4080
要么没有基本育儿帮助的
相关知识或时间。
05:54
Refugee难民 camp teachers教师 and other parents父母
are just like them --
115
342360
3120
难民营的教师或是其他家长,
也跟那些医生一样--
成为新难民营的一部分,
为新的需求而奋斗。
05:58
part部分 of a new refugee难民 community社区
who's谁是 struggling奋斗的 with new needs需求.
116
346120
3480
06:03
So then we began开始 to think.
117
351000
2200
这时我们就会开始思考。
06:05
How could we help these families家庭?
118
353760
2360
我们应该如何帮助这些家庭呢?
06:09
The families家庭 were struggling奋斗的 with things
much bigger than they could cope应付 with.
119
357240
4136
这些家庭正与远超过
自身应对能力的事情做斗争。
叙利亚危机已经让我们看清楚
06:13
The Syrian叙利亚的 crisis危机 made制作 it clear明确
120
361400
1696
想要从个体层面去帮助这些家庭
是多么不可思议般的不切实际。
06:15
how incredibly令人难以置信 impossible不可能 it would be
to reach达到 families家庭 on an individual个人 level水平.
121
363120
5296
那我们又能如何帮助他们呢?
06:20
How else其他 could we help them?
122
368440
1976
我们应该如何
在这些极度恐怖的时期
06:22
How would we reach达到 families家庭
at a population人口 level水平
123
370440
3936
对整个群体,以低成本方式
06:26
and low costs成本
124
374400
1560
去帮助这些家庭呢?
06:29
in these terrifying可怕的, terrifying可怕的 times?
125
377120
2720
在与非政府组织工作人员
数小时的谈话之后,
06:32
After hours小时 of speaking请讲 to NGO非政府组织 workers工人,
126
380880
2576
有一个人提出了一个
神奇的,新颖的观点
06:35
one suggested建议 a fantastic奇妙 innovative创新 idea理念
127
383480
2456
那就是通过面包包装袋
来宣传育儿信息页--
06:37
of distributing分布 parenting育儿
information信息 leaflets传单 via通过 bread面包 wrappers包装 --
128
385960
5016
就是那些在叙利亚战区
由人道主义工作人员
06:43
bread面包 wrappers包装 that were being存在 delivered交付
to families家庭 in a conflict冲突 zone in Syria叙利亚
129
391000
4336
发放给家庭的面包包装袋。
06:47
by humanitarian人道主义 workers工人.
130
395360
1640
那就是我们所做的。
06:49
So that's what we did.
131
397360

另外一张纸则是
一个反馈调查问卷,
当然,还有一支笔。
07:23
and of course课程, there was a pen钢笔.
143
431920
1600
07:26
So is this simply只是 leaflet传单 distribution分配,
144
434160
3496
所以这仅仅是宣传页发放吗?
或者是实际的提供心理救急,
带来温暖的,安全的,充满爱意的
07:29
or is this actually其实 a possible可能 means手段
of delivering交付 psychological心理 first aid援助

育儿方式的一种可能的手段呢?
我们做到了在一周之内就发放了
3000份这样的宣传页。
07:36
We managed管理 to distribute分发
3,000 of these in just one week.

但是这样的反馈率可以说是惊人的。
07:52
but that kind of response响应
rate is fantastic奇妙.
151
460600
2336
如果能够在曼彻斯特得到那样的反馈率
就已经是一个伟大的成就了,
07:54
To have that in Manchester曼彻斯特
would be a huge巨大 achievement成就,

07:58
let alone单独 in a conflict冲突 zone in Syria叙利亚 --

更别说是在叙利亚的武装冲突区域--
08:00
really highlighting突出 how important重要
these kinds of messages消息 were to families家庭.
154
468960
3720
这足以证明那样的信息对于
那些家庭来说是多么的重要
08:07
I remember记得 how excited兴奋 and eager急于 we were
for the return返回 of the questionnaires问卷调查.
155
475200

157
481680
2376
大多数都是非常正面的,鼓励性的。
08:16
But my favorite喜爱 has got to be,
158
484080
1736
但是我最喜欢的还是,
08:17
"Thank you for not forgetting遗忘
about us and our children孩子."
159
485840
3000
“感谢你们没有忘记我们
和我们的孩子们。”
08:22

2776
并收到他们的反馈
08:27
and the return返回 of feedback反馈, too.
162
495160
2096
的可能的途径。
08:29
Just imagine想像 replicating复制 this
using运用 other means手段
163
497280
2496
想象一下通过其他途径复制这一做法,
08:31
such这样 as baby宝宝 milk牛奶 distribution分配,
or female hygiene卫生 kits,
164
499800
4576
比如分发婴儿奶粉
或是女士卫生巾包
08:36
or even food餐饮 baskets.
165
504400
1280
又甚至是食品篮。
但是让我们把这件事
带进我们自身的生活
08:40
But let's bring带来 this closer接近 to home,
166

1715
因为难民危机
08:41

08:46
We're bombarded炮轰 with images图片 daily日常
of statistics统计 and of photos相片,
169
514520

170
519159
1577
因为截止到上个月,
08:52
because by last month,
171
520760
1255
超过100万的难民已经到达欧洲。
08:54

100万。
08:57
One million百万.
173
525160
1200
08:58
Refugees难民 are joining加盟 our communities社区,

他们的孩子正在

2296
她的身别躺着一个
看起来13岁大的女孩儿,
09:47
with what seemed似乎 to be
a 13-year-old-岁 girl女孩 lying说谎 beside her,
189
575760
3456
09:51
with her head on the elderly老年 lady's女士 knees膝盖.
190
579240
2280
她的头依偎在那个妇女的膝盖上。
那个女孩儿在整个
焦点小组过程中都保持沉默,
09:54
The girl女孩 stayed quiet安静
throughout始终 the focus焦点 group,
191
582080
2776
什么话也没说,
09:56
not talking at all,
192
584880
1296
09:58
with her knees膝盖
curled卷曲 up against反对 her chest胸部.
193
586200
2120
她的膝盖蜷缩在她的胸前。
直到焦点小组活动尾声,
10:01
Towards the end结束 of the focus焦点 group,
194
589040
1696
正当我感谢参与的母亲们的时候,
10:02
and as I was thanking表达感谢
the mothers母亲 for their time,
195
590760
2976
10:05
the elderly老年 lady淑女 looked看着 at me
while pointing指点 at the young年轻 girl女孩,
196
593760
2976
那个妇女边看着我,
边指着那个年轻的女孩儿,
她对我说,“你能够帮帮我们,吗?”
10:08
and said to me, "Can you help us with...?"
197
596760
2400
虽然不是很清楚她希望我去做些什么,
10:12
Not quite相当 sure what she expected预期 me to do,
198
600080
2376
我看着那个年轻的女孩儿,微笑着
10:14
I looked看着 at the young年轻 girl女孩 and smiled笑笑,
199
602480
1856
10:16
and in Arabic阿拉伯 I said,
200
604360
1376
用阿拉伯语说,
"Salaam alaikum. Shu-ismak?"
10:17
"Salaam行额手礼 alaikumalaikum. Shu-ismak蜀ismak?"
201
605760
2016
“你叫什么名字?”
10:19
"What's your name名称?"
202
607800
1200
10:21
She looked看着 at me really
confused困惑 and unengaged非啮合,
203
609720
2736
她看着我,十分困惑,游离,
然后她说,“Halul"。
10:24
but then said, "HalulHalul."
204
612480
1600
10:26
HalulHalul is the pet's宠物 name名称
for the Arabic阿拉伯 female name名称, Hala哈拉,
205
614840
4536
Halul是宠物的名字,
阿拉伯女名是Hala,
Halul真的只能用于称呼
年纪非常小的女孩儿。
10:31
and is only really used
to refer参考 to really young年轻 girls女孩.
206
619400
2880
10:35
At that point I realized实现 that actually其实
Hala哈拉 was probably大概 much older旧的 than 13.
207
623320
3640
那时我突然意识到,
Hala可能远不止13岁。
结果表明,Hala是一个25岁的,
三个孩子的妈妈了。
10:39
It turns out Hala哈拉 was a 25-year-old-岁
mother母亲 to three young年轻 children孩子.
208
627800

Hala曾经是一个自信的,阳光的,
活泼的,充满爱意的,
10:44
Hala哈拉 had been a confident信心,
bright, bubbly香槟酒, loving爱心, caring爱心 mother母亲
209

对孩子十分慈爱的母亲,
10:48
to her children孩子,
210
636920
1216
10:50
but the war战争 had changed all of that.
211
638160
1960
但是战争改变了这所有的一切。
10:53
She had lived生活 through通过 bombs炸弹
being存在 dropped下降 in her town;

她幸免于在她家乡投下的炸弹;
她在爆炸中存活了下来。
10:57
she had lived生活 through通过 explosions爆炸.
213
645400
2440
当战斗机驶过他们的楼房,
11:00
When fighter战斗机 jets喷气机
were flying飞行 around their building建造,
214
648440
2456
11:02
dropping落下 bombs炸弹,
215
650920
1216
投射炸弹,
11:04
her children孩子 would be screaming尖叫,
terrified from the noise噪声.
216
652160
2736
她的孩子们会被那种
噪声吓到,惊恐地尖叫。
11:06
Hala哈拉 would frantically疯狂 grab pillows枕头
and cover her children's儿童 ears耳朵
217
654920
3096
Hala就疯狂的抓取枕头,
捂住孩子们的耳朵
隔离那些噪音,
11:10
to block out the noise噪声,
218
658040
1376
尽管自己在惊叫着。
11:11
all the while screaming尖叫 herself她自己.
219
659440
1560
11:14
When they reached到达 the refugee难民 camp
220
662080
1696
当她们到达了难民营,
她知道他们终于得到了
一定程度上的安全,
11:15
and she knew知道 they were finally最后
in some kind of safety安全,
221
663800
3216
11:19
she completely全然 withdrew撤回
to acting演戏 like her old childhood童年 self.
222
667040
3400
她变得完全逃离现实,
行为像她自己童年时一样。
她完全排斥了她的家庭--
11:23
She completely全然 rejected拒绝 her family家庭 --
223
671080
2080
她的孩子,她的丈夫。
11:26
her children孩子, her husband丈夫.
224
674480
1960
11:29
Hala哈拉 simply只是 could no longer cope应付.
225
677200
2120
Hala仅仅是无法再面对这一切了。
这是一个有着艰难结局的
育儿斗争的例子,
11:32
This is a parenting育儿 struggle斗争
with a really tough强硬 ending结尾,
226
680600
2896
11:35
but sadly可悲的是, it's not uncommon罕见.
227
683520
1816
但是不幸的是,这种情况并不罕见。
11:37
Those who experience经验
armed武装 conflict冲突 and displacement移位

那些经历了武装冲突和移民的人们
一定会面对严峻的情感斗争。
11:40

而这也都与我们息息相关。
11:46
