“…Numerous services have been developed to help refugees across economic (e.g., establishing financial independence), health (e.g., mental health sup-port), social (e.g., forming a new social network), and cultural (e.g., adjusting to a novel culture) domains (Praznik & Shields, 2018). Although these services provide vital support during a major transitional period, ensuring uptake by refugees remains a challenge because of cultural differences, financial constraints, mistrust, and long wait times (Salami et al, 2019;Soukenik et al, 2022;Tay et al, 2019). Language difficulties, feelings of loneliness, and acculturative stress were also found to impede refugees' engagement with supports (Woodgate et al, 2017).…”
