The views and opinions expressed by this presenter in this lecture are their own, and do not represent the views of Sheppard Pratt.
The long-term impact of adverse health outcomes in refugee populations is a dominant problem in the United States. Each year, thousands of individuals fleeing persecution in their homelands come to the United States as refugees and asylum seekers. The combined impact of premigration, migration and post migration stressors including lack of access to services and continued challenges frequently exacerbate negative health outcomes for refugees, both psychological symptoms and physiological health concerns. These unaddressed health concerns are specifically harmful and result in increased morbidity, increased mental health concerns, decreased life expectancy and poor quality of life.
This oral presentation aims to discuss the challenges that refugees endure and ways to address their wellbeing within their current existence in the U.S. Achievement of wellbeing is argued as an integrative approach utilizing a multidisciplinary approach recognizing the varied experiences, ethnic and religious beliefs, and their identities both as individuals and as belonging to the community. This will help bring much needed attention to the development of specialized services for this population.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
After this lecture, registrants will be able to:
- Discuss the pre-migration, migration and post migration journeys: socio-political impact.
- Recognize barriers to mental health care and wellbeing: enabling collaborative care.
- Describe some culturally competent and effective response strategies.
