Produktbeschreibung
Migrants and refugees represent one of the most vulnerable populations, often experiencing mental health degradation due to both their traumatic pre-migration experiences and the challenges they face in recipient countries. This paper examines the contributing factors to mental health degradation among participants in the Horizon Academic Program, consisting of migrants & refugees at the University of Geneva. It also evaluates whether the program positively impacts their mental health as part of a larger institutional effort. As a result the study identifies four key factors contributing to mental health decline in participants' post-migration journey: discrimination, prolonged waiting times for asylum status, language barriers & racism. The research further explores specific mental health issues encountered, assesses the program's role in alleviating these challenges, and offers both short- and long-term recommendations to reduce the mental health burden on this population.
