More info about the research
Purpose: This study seeks to understand the factors causing mental distress among African refugees in Winnipeg and the resources they use to address these concerns. The study will include perceptions of the members of the African refugee community. If you agree to participate, you will be asked to take pictures that represent both the factors that cause you distress and those that help to release it here in Winnipeg and provide an explanation to each picture taken in an individual meeting with one member of the research team. Then you will be invited to share your perceptions on a select group of pictures taken by you and other participants through a focus group. As a participant you will be asked to keep confidentiality of the information you will hear from other participants.
