Highlights Multilevel strengths‐based intervention decreases refugee distress and improves protective factors. Holistic focus on psychological, material, social, educational, and cultural needs is effective. High recruitment/retention rates support importance of non‐stigmatizing universal interventions. Refugee Well‐being Project (RWP) intervention reaches refugees unlikely to access formal mental health services. RWP circumvents typical barriers to services (stigma, trust, linguistic/cultural appropriateness).
