Abstract: This study investigates how community violence affects the mental health of Teke-Yaka conflict victims in the Bandundu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. We assessed 111 participants using the satisfaction with life scale, PCL-S, and resilience scale. The analysis of data shows that victims of the Teke-Yaka conflict experience significant mental health challenges, including psychological distress, hyperarousal, intrusion, and avoidance. However, these individuals also exhibit resilience.
