This paper examines issues that Yazidi refugee students face upon arrival to Canada, and interventions that schools can implement to support these students. Due to traumatic experiences, Yazidi students suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Therefore, school staff need training to recognize the symptoms of PTSD, and schools must provide targeted counselling services and connections to community-based services. Yazidi students are often illiterate or have gaps in education, so schools need to incorporate inclusive practices to increase engagement, and provide instruction that focuses on emergent literacy and functional language. Teachers require specific training that addresses the academic needs of Yazidi students.
