Altered Experiences and vulnerable groups in immigration

Altered experiences refer to changes in how immigrants perceive, interpret, and respond to their new environment, often influenced by cultural differences, language barriers, or trauma. Vulnerable groups in immigration include refugees, asylum seekers, unaccompanied minors, and those facing discrimination or lack of resources. These groups are at higher risk of mental health issues, exploitation, and social exclusion due to their circumstances. Understanding their altered experiences helps in providing appropriate support and creating inclusive policies that address their unique needs and challenges during integration.
