Abstract

In this contribution we will shed light on how individual and social post-migration factors affect the well-being of undocumented migrants. Using retrospective interviews, this study involves undocumented migrants who live in the Netherlands and have received psychosocial support. The stories of these undocumented migrants demonstrate that individual and social post-migration factors (such as health and social contacts) are closely entangled. These pathways are not often considered by mental health and psychosocial support organizations. A better understanding of these pathways will strengthen support for as yet untapped factors of change, and be effective in improving the well-being of undocumented migrants.

摘要

在这篇文章中，我们将阐明个人和社会移民后因素如何影响无证移民的福祉。这项研究采用回顾性访谈，涉及居住在荷兰并接受心理社会支持的无证移民。这些无证移民的故事表明，个人和社会的移民后因素（例如健康和社会接触）紧密相连。心理健康和社会心理支持组织通常不考虑这些途径。更好地了解这些途径将加强对尚未开发的变革因素的支持，并有效改善无证移民的福祉。
