Children and adolescents affected by armed conflict are in critical need of support, however, there is a paucity of research dedicated to understanding preventative mental health interventions for children in post-conflict settings. This study aims to address two simple questions: (1) What is the impact of parent-teacher associations (PTAs) on children in post-conflict settings (2) What is the feasibility of parent-teacher associations (PTAs) in Burundi? The purpose of the paper is to answer these questions through a brief review of existing PTAs in post-conflict settings and an analysis of qualitative data. Interviews will be used to understand the attitudes and acceptability of PTAs in Burundi. Analysis used a thematic analysis approach. The paper will inform researchers and humanitarian organizations and add to existing studies about the feasibility of parent teacher associations (PTAs) in low and middle income countries (LAMIC) in post-conflict settings. Departing from the brief review of the existing studies to the analysis of qualitative data, this paper may generate new notions of school-family involvement and expand the understanding of the benefits children may gain from this parent-teacher relationship.

The paper seeks to examine the atrocities done by the Indian government to Sikhs that culminated in the 1984 Operation Bluestar incident, and loomed over the political, social, and humanitarian makeup of Punjab over the following decades; these injustices have significantly bolstered a desire for political sovereignty among Sikhs—the state of Khalistan--which stems from their historical and theological background, the suppression of basic human rights, and the Sikh Genocide.
