The paper present the community resilience approach to promoting refugees' integration and wellbeing and preventing the onset of psychiatric disorders, which could also be applied to Ukrainian migrants. Hosting refugees is a challenge also for the host community, which is called upon to deploy tangible and intangible resources that can promote community resilience and reduce risk factors for the development of mental health problems and psychiatric disorders among refugees, with a consequent reduction of health care costs. At the same time, a resilient refugee community can increase the resources of the host country. Indeed, in line with this framework, it can be argued that the design and implementation of community-centered interventions, with a focus on community resilience, are key aspects to protect the traumatic factors to which these people are exposed.

Abstract
The paper present the community resilience approach to promoting refugees' integration and wellbeing and preventing the onset of psychiatric disorders, which could also be applied to Ukrainian migrants. Hosting refugees is a challenge also for the host community, which is called upon to deploy tangible and intangible resources that can promote community resilience and reduce risk factors for the development of mental health problems and psychiatric disorders among refugees, with a consequent reduction of health care costs. At the same time, a resilient refugee community can increase the resources of the host country. Indeed, in line with this framework, it can be argued that the design and implementation of community-centered interventions, with a focus on community resilience, are key aspects to protect the traumatic factors to which these people are exposed.
