Designing a Culturally Congruent Integrated Mental Health Care Delivery Model for Immigrants and Refugees Público

Abstract

Purpose: Immigrant and refugee populations face barriers to healthcare that create stigma and mistrust, affecting their mental health. This project aims to design a person-centered, culturally informed mental health care model for the diverse clinical population of Clarkston Community Health Center (CCHC).

Methods: A literature review was conducted to assess various integrated healthcare frameworks for enhancing access, services, and outcomes for immigrants and refugees, aiming to develop a culturally congruent integrated primary mental healthcare model. The authors also held multiple Zoom meetings, visited CCHC in person, and analyzed its needs assessment to understand local community needs.

Findings: Findings highlight frameworks to improve healthcare and social determinants for this population. Integrated primary mental health care models can enhance care for immigrants and refugees, addressing the specific needs of the CCHC community.

Conclusions: To create this integrated care model for immigrant and refugee populations, a holistic and comprehensive approach must be employed so that the different disparities immigrants and refugees face can be adequately addressed.
