Migration is an important phenomenon that deeply affects the lives of adolescents and paves the way for many emotional and behavioral problems. It is important for adolescents to go through the migration process without any problems in order for them to continue their lives in harmony with the society they have just joined and to continue their individual development in a healthy way. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the problems experienced by adolescents, who are in an interim period from childhood to adulthood, before, during and after migration, and what kind of practices can be implemented for these problems. For this purpose, the developmental characteristics of the adolescents involved in the migration process were emphasized in the study, the problems they experienced during the migration process were mentioned, and finally, various application suggestions for these problems were included. Adolescents may be exposed to different sources of stress with the migration process, and such exposures cause them to experience different levels of physical, biological and social problems. At the point of overcoming such problems that individuals face, the creation of implementations at different systems, including the educational settings, can help adolescents in the identity formation process to feel more self-confident and develop a positive sense of belonging.
