Immigration in the United States has reached historic numbers. More than 50 million people born in other countries now call the United States home.

Migrating to a new country can bring unique mental health challenges, like coping with the traumas that may have caused a person to leave home, and the pressure of fitting into a new community.

Meanwhile, global conflicts, the COVID-19 pandemic, changes to U.S. immigration policy, and America’s recent deportation crackdown have all amplified the challenges of making a new home in the United States.

This Call to Mind special program explores the unique mental health challenges for immigrants in America.
