Refugee Mental Health and Wellness Pilot Study
Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles
Summary
This pilot study will develop and examine the acceptability of a Community Navigator program of support for 10-24 older adult immigrant participants receiving services at a refugee-serving organization based in Southern California. This program will provide participants with social support from a 'Community Navigator,' who will work with clients to help promote attendance and engagement with the community during social activities and community events. This program aims to reduce feelings of loneliness or social isolation. In partnership with the refugee-serving organization, the UCLA investigators will implement this program in addition to services provided as usual at the community partner site. Researchers will then conduct interviews to explore participants' experiences and perceptions for improvement of the program.
