“…This recommendation is offered to all health care providers so that with increased understanding of the immigrant woman's contextual factors, more appropriate mental health care can be negotiated within the therapeutic relationship. Factors such as social, cultural, political, and economic differences have an impact on the immigrant woman's situation (Anderson, 2001;Donnelly, 2002). Understanding how these factors operate to shape immigrant women's responses to health and illness will help health care providers to negotiate and improve services to immigrant women.…”

It is well documented that serious mental health problems such as depression, schizophrenia, and post migration stress disorders exist among immigrant women. Informed by Kleinman's explanatory model, this qualitative exploratory study was conducted with seven health care providers who provided mental health services to immigrant women. Analysis of the data revealed that (a) immigrant women face many difficulties when accessing mental health care services due to cultural differences, social stigma, and unfamiliarity with Western biomedicine, (b) spiritual beliefs and practices that influence immigrant women's mental health care practices, and (c) the health care provider-client relationship, which exerts great influence on how immigrant women seek mental health care. The study also revealed that cultural background exerts both positive and negative influences on how immigrant women seek mental health care. We suggest that although cultural knowledge and practices influence immigrant women's coping choices and strategies, awareness of social and economic differences among diverse groups of immigrant women is necessary to improve the accessibility of mental health care for immigrant women.

Internationally, the welfare of Indigenous children continues to be severely compromised by their involvement with child welfare authorities. In this context, there are calls for greater investment in early childhood programs to support family preservation and children's well-being. This article reports on the findings from a critical qualitative inquiry undertaken with Aboriginal Infant Development Programs (AIDPs) in Canada. The findings highlight how AIDP workers' relational approaches countered Indigenous mothers' experiences of feeling "like a bad parent" as a result of their involvement with the child welfare system and how workers navigated an increasingly close relationship with this system. We draw on the concept of structural violence to discuss the impact of the child welfare system on Indigenous families and AIDPs.

“…Such epistemologies of healing are grounded in centering marginalized voices and the recognition of their historical positioning to construct knowledge for practice and praxis. To do so, Anderson [26] asserts that a postcolonial feminist perspective provides the tools for analyzing how the intersecting systems of oppression shape the experiences and meanings of life and well-being for women of color in the diaspora. Such an approach challenges us to examine the unequal relations of power and the ways in which dominant groups have redefined local meanings, and dictated social structures.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this paper was to explore the factors that shape identity, agency, and quality of life for older Somali refugee women. The author used a narrative inquiry approach to analyze the life stories of 12 Somali refugee women. Narratives were analyzed for both content and form, and three main themes were identified: (1) journey of trauma and coping, (2) identity and perceptions of home and belonging, and (3) navigating a complex health care system. The findings underscore the importance of understanding the complexity of Somali refugee women's voices in response to coping with trauma, resettlement, and belonging.
