Description
Usama El-Awad, Arnold Lohaus, and Tilman Reinelt present a study from twenty twenty-five on social support and mental health in young male migrants in Germany. Their group holds refugees and immigrant origin peers from the Middle East. Support from kin, friends, and close others is thought to shield the mind. The team asks if it also blunts the harm of stress after migration.
More support went with fewer signs of anxiety and low mood in both groups. The blunting effect, though, showed only in the immigrant peers, not in the refugees. Refugees felt more post migration stress and less support from friends. The team says felt support alone may not shield refugees. Built support systems must grow.
