About the Book: The Migrant Art of Coping

The Migrant Art of Coping explores the experiences of refugees and the ways they navigate displacement, restrictive laws, and limited support systems. The book highlights how refugees develop strength, community, and innovative coping mechanisms that challenge conventional understandings of mental health.

Through stories, personal experiences, and creative practices, the book offers insights into themes such as belonging, care, and survival. It aims to provide new perspectives on wellbeing, identity, and healing, relevant to mental health professionals, community members, and anyone interested in refugee issues.
