Course Description

Research shows that migrants have higher rates of mental health needs in comparison to general populations (NAMI, 2019). This is often due to the traumatic experiences that they may have faced before, during, and after migration. This presentation examines migrants’ civil rights to be an active part of a society and economy without discrimination or oppression. It also discusses some common challenges that immigrants face when migrating. As our mental health is intricately linked to various factors, such as physical health, educational and/or occupational achievements, and financial and economic participation (Bickenbach, 2011), it is imperative that the various factors are addressed to care for migrants’ mental health needs. This presentation applies the eight ‘Wellness Dimensions’ of Swarbrick’s Wellness Model to migrants’ wellness to learn how to support their mental wellness needs better.
