“…International protection may be offered to forced migrants through refugee status. Voluntary fluxes, on the other hand, are regulated by national laws that vary across countries (Silva, 2011). Effectively, whereas in France, as in other European countries, migration policies are becoming stricter, in Brazil a new Migration Law was approved in 2017, guaranteeing rights for migrants in different areas (Bonjour & Block, 2013; Minchola, 2020).…”

Background: The relationship between migration and mental health is complex and involves factors at different levels, as the individual history of the migrant, the collective history of their home country, the host society’s and their mutual past history. Even though the migratory scenario of France and Brazil has changed over the years, both countries currently host an important number of immigrants. Aim: The main objective of the present study was to describe and analyze the impacts of the migratory experience on mental health of migrants with different migration experiences and living in two countries: France and Brazil. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 participants, six in France and seven in Brazil. A thematic qualitative analysis of the data was performed using the ATLAS.TI software. Three themes were created based on the different times of the migration experience: before migration, during migration and after migration. All codes of these three bigger themes were organized in sub-themes for the samples in France and Brazil. Results: Participants in France described an important exposure to traumatic events before and during migration. In Brazil, the migration experiences were multiple, in some cases presenting a traumatic history, but in most cases migration was seen as an opportunity to have access to better life conditions. In both countries, participants reported a great level of psychological distress associated to post-migratory difficulties (e.g. unemployment, learning a new language, or facing a new cultural environment). Conclusions: Our results suggest that multidisciplinary interventions, with focus on skills development, such as language and work-related skills, and on access to basic needs may be essential for both voluntary and involuntary migrants. In addition to these interventions, some individuals may need specialized mental health intervention, focusing in past traumatic exposure and in the current acculturation process.

This article analyzes the Brazilian State's responses to the arrival of the south migratory flows to Brazil. The study empirically focuses on Haitian migration in Brazil. We argued the Brazilian migration policies have focused until now mainly in the reception process of immigrants. The New Migration Law (13.445/2017) and Regulatory Resolutions have allowed a regulated entry of Haitian immigrants in Brazil. However, the qualitative research conducted with Haitians in Brasília and Curitiba in 2018-1019, named “Immigration and economic crisis. Haitian return migration and circularity tactics” has showed there are still pending challenges, which the policies has not tackled. In sum, this study showed that in Brazil up to now the integration mechanisms have not developed at the same pace as the flow management rules.
