This program focuses on the mental and behavioral health of immigrants and refugees by identifying challenges like trauma, displacement, and acculturation stress. We develop and evaluate culturally appropriate interventions, addressing social determinants such as housing and employment. Furthermore, we work to strengthen community resilience and translate our findings into practical policies and guidance for service providers to enhance support systems and care quality.

Our key activities include conducting studies with diverse immigrant groups to understand their mental health experiences and outcomes. We measure the effectiveness of various interventions, from clinical therapies to public health programs, and collaborate closely with community members, service providers, and policymakers to ensure our research is both relevant and actionable. Finally, we translate these findings into practice by providing training and resources to build the capacity of mental health professionals.
