Reseña

The book Emotional Health for Migrant Women provides psychosocial and empowerment tools for women during the migration process. Topics such as acculturation, detention, deportation, gender-based violence, and the face of migration, among others, are presented. These focus on the current situation faced by Mexican migrant women in American culture.
The tools in this book are easily replicable, allowing them to be adapted for other groups undergoing migration. Another significant contribution of this pedagogical resource is training university students as community promoters to work with populations in vulnerable situations.
Under academic supervision, students in the Psychology degree program at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City ran the GDA every semester from 2013 to 2017 with migrant women at the community centers of Catholic Charities and various parishes in the city of Chicago, which was crucial to the project’s success.
