Psychological influence of adolescent immigrants

In view of the linguistic, cultural and psychological characteristics of teenagers, young immigrants must go through a period of psychological and life adaptation.

When new immigrants and their children arrive in a foreign country, they are faced with the adaptation to the local culture, the lack of social service resources, and the ignorance of the local education system and the daily operation of the school, so they cannot communicate and cooperate well with the school. Because of language communication barriers and cultural differences, they lack confidence and trust in social workers or doctors, and taboos or misunderstandings about mental health support and treatment in the cultural customs of their places of origin will have an impact on the mental health and quality of life of new immigrants. It is very important to know and understand these unique features of new immigrants.
