Refugee Mental Health

Refugee mental health refers to the psychological well-being of individuals who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or disaster. These individuals often face trauma, loss, and uncertainty, which can lead to issues like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Accessing mental health services can be challenging due to cultural barriers, stigma, and lack of resources. Supporting refugee mental health involves understanding their unique experiences and providing appropriate care that considers their cultural backgrounds and specific needs, fostering resilience and aiding in their adaptation to new environments.
