Abstract

This scoping review maps the evidence on psychosocial care and services for children in transnational families (TNFs), including both children who migrate and those who remain in the countries of origin while one or both parents migrate for work. Guided by PRISMA and Arksey and O’Malley’s five-stage frameworks, the review searched three electronic databases for English-language journal articles and book chapters published between 2014 and 2024. Using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 137 publications were selected and analyzed by a team of 13 researchers across six countries.
