Immigrants Acculturation Support Group
Immigrants Acculturation Support Group
When acculturation syndrome and symptoms like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem start to arrive.
Immigrating can be and it is, for the most part, of the process traumatizing. Immigrants are not only new to the place they move to, but they are mourning their losses; their country and culture, their profession, their family, and their way of living. These factors are very significant to a point that entire families are affected by the acculturation syndrome and symptoms like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem start to arrive. The owners at TAL Community Mental Health Center, immigrants themselves (of many countries) have more than 25 years of experience working closely with immigrants from Europe, South America, the Middle East, and the Caribbean; and understand first hand the trials and the pain they go through once arrived in the new world.
