Health Implications. The provision of quality, culturally competent health care is uniquely important to U.S. based refugees. Newly resettled refuges may face substantial challenges to acclimating to a new society, including language barriers, unfamiliar social norms, values, belief systems, practices, health systems, and unwelcoming contexts of reception (Xxxxx & Xxxxx, 2016; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2017 as cited in Xxxxxxxx et al., 2021). Over the course of migration and resettlement, newcomers may embrace and draw strength from a plurality of cultural identities, whether based on place, race, ethnicity, religion, nation, or otherwise. However, managing various cultural affiliations may also produce stress, especially in an unsupportive environment, provoking feelings of anxiety, isolation, depression, and other effects on mental health and psychosocial wellbeing (Bennouna et al., 2021). The stress of newly resettled refugees may be exacerbated by the receiving community, through microaggressions or discrimination, and by the heritage community, when some members disapprove of an individual’s process of change (Xxxxxx-Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2012). Accessing the U.S. healthcare system may also produce acculturative stressors and exacerbate inequalities for newcomers, especially when system is designed around a dominant ethnic group—namely the white, English-speaking, Judeo-Christian majority in the U.S. Such services may heighten social exclusion, contribute to marginalization, or reinforce a pressure to assimilate to the receiving society’s dominant group (Bennouna et al., 2021). In the United States, refugees may encounter identity-based discrimination while also being subject to racialization (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al., 2020; Xxxxxxx et al., 2019). Immigrants who are refugees from war, famine, oppression, and other dangerous environments are more vulnerable to psychological distress (APA, 2010). They are likely to have left behind painful and often life- threatening situations in their countries of origin and can still bear the scars of these experiences. Some refugees come to the United States with high expectations for improved living conditions, only to find significant barriers to their full participation in American society (e.g., language barriers, discrimination, poverty). Reduced federal resources during the Xxxxx administration and a national climate corroded with increasingly common expressions of anti-immigrant sentiment has resulted in practitioners struggling to provide newcomers...
