Title
Mental Health of South Asian Women : Dialogues with Recent Immigrants on Post-Migration, Help-Seeking and Coping Strategies
Abstract
The author notes that as Canada, and particularly metropolitan Montreal, becomes increasingly diverse, it is important to explore and understand the culture and needs of immigrant communities. The author focuses on the mental health of South Asian immigrant women in Montreal. Her original research is a qualitative descriptive study based on in-depth interviews with nine women from India and Pakistan. The interviews focus on the intersection of gender and culture with post-migration experiences, help-seeking patterns and coping strategies for distress in South Asian women. The author explains that women's narratives provide pertinent information for researchers and practitioners that could be applicable to the design of future research, outreach, health promotion, and models of care on mental health.
