Unaccompanied migrant youth experience marginalization. In addition, due to their experience before, during and post-migration, they are exposed to mental health risks. Thus, they would benefit from technology enabled mental health support. In this paper, I propose a shift away from viewing resilience development as a responsibility of the individual towards promoting resilience from an ecological approach. This paper presents the social-ecological model of resilience as a design framework to map out the design space of technology enabled mental health support for this and similar context.

Unaccompanied Migrant Youth and Mental Health Technologies: A Social-Ecological Approach to Understanding and Designing2021 •
Research increasingly shows that technology can improve access to mental health interventions. However, unaccompanied migrant youth (UMY) still struggle in accessing appropriate mental health resources in spite of their high need for mental health support. Through co-design workshops, and using the lens of the social-ecological model of resilience, we explored the social-ecological factors that support or hinder UMY’s use of mental health apps as resources. We identified the strong influence of the macro-system (i.e. resettlement policies) on the bio-and micro-systems, which in turn limits participants’ abilities to use the apps. Our findings highlight the factors specific to each social-ecological system—including personal experiences, technological infrastructure and social environment—that need to be accounted for when designing technological mental health resources for UMY. This contributes: a rich description of the interplay of mental health apps with social-ecological systems...

Supporting the Supporters of Unaccompanied Migrant Youth: Designing for Social-ecological Resilience2020 •
Unaccompanied migrant youth, fleeing to a new country without their parents, are exposed to mental health risks. Resilience interventions mitigate such risks, but access can be hindered by systemic and personal barriers. While much work has recently addressed designing technology to promote mental health, none has focused on the needs of these populations. This paper presents the results of interviews with 18 professional/ volunteer support workers and 5 unaccompanied migrant youths, followed by three design workshops. The results point to the diverse systems that can facilitate youths' resilience development. The relationship between the youth and volunteers acting as mentors is particularly important for increasing resilience but comes with challenges. This suggests the relevance of a social-ecological model of resilience with a focus on designing technology to support the mentors in order to help them better support the youth. We conclude by mapping out the design space for m...

Social ecological systems play a central role in promoting resilience in unaccompanied migrant youth. While navigating and negotiating resources is a key element of a working socialecological model of resilience, the systems supporting the unaccompanied migrant youth are under-resourced. In this paper, we reflect on ecosystems of mental health resources from the perspective of the social-ecological model of resilience and how this plays out in the context of unaccompanied migrant youth.
Multisystemic Resilience
Toward a Multisystemic Resilience Framework for Migrant YouthThis chapter proposes an integrative framework to understand the resilience of youth in the context of migration. It first refines the concept of resilience and provides a definition particularly for this population—a process toward positive adaptation and development despite the challenging environmental changes and life transitions that occur during migration. Considering that this process is influenced by various factors embedded in multiple systems, the authors propose a Multisystemic Resilience Framework for migrant youth that uses the photosynthesis of green plants as an analogy to demonstrate in a leaf-shaped figure the dynamic process of resilience shaped by three interactive systems: intrapersonal microsystem, interpersonal mesosystem, and institutional macrosystem. Migrant youths are positioned as active agents in the center who mobilize resources from and facilitate interactions across multiple systems. The chapter concludes by illustrating the complex interplay between s...

Resilience, mental health and urban migrants: a narrative review2020 •
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a narrative review of the literature on mental health resilience and other positive mental health capacities of urban and internal migrants.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology for this narrative review included a search of articles published up to 2017. The abstracts were screened and relevant articles studied and discussed. Literature on the particular mental health challenges of urban migrants in India was also studied. References found in the literature relating to neurourbanism were also followed up to explore broader historical and conceptual contexts.FindingsSeveral key sources and resources for mental health resilience were identified – including familial and community networks and individual hope or optimism. Nevertheless, much of the literature tends to focus at the level of the individual person, even though ecological systems theory would suggest that mental health resilience is better understood as multi-layered, i.e....

Commentary: Ecological Relational Supports as Key Resources for Refugee Youth Mental Health2020 •
Considering mental health outcomes of children and youth refugees is critical to ensuring not only future peace efforts in contexts of conflict, but also in supporting improved social and economic conditions domestically and internationally.1 Failing to address the chronic stress and trauma that young people, their families and communities have been exposed to, undermines peace efforts and acts of repatriation. In this regard, and as stated by Emily Pelley, an interactive ecological resilience framework is an effective framework to guide to both our understanding of psychological responses to conflict experiences and to providing meaningful supports.

Designing Mental Health Services for Vulnerable Migrants and Refugees2021 •
Migrants and refugees need international protection, particularly during a crisis such as the current health pandemic. The aim of this research was to examine the mental health and attitudes towards COVID-19 in migrants and refugees compared to the general Spanish population. Moreover, the nature of resilience was examined as a mixed component though life experiences. For this proposal, an interview was carried out in a sample of 245 participants who volunteered to participate in the study. The sample was divided into Spanish non-migrants, Spanish migrants, non-Spanish migrants and refugees. Attitudes towards COVID-19, resilience (based on BRCS) and mental health (based on DASS-21) were measured. The results obtained can be described as follows: (i) Migrant participants indicated worse mental health than non-migrants, and within the migrant group, refugees presented worse scores; (ii) No differences were found in attitudes towards COVID-19 in any of the subgroups; (iii) A moderating...

Societies rely on the social infrastructure for proper societal function. When crises emerge, the importance of the social infrastructure magnifies as people often rely on others, both known and unknown, for support. For citizens experiencing a war environment, however, societal trust can be affected and we show how technologies are used to maintain and create social infrastructures for resilience. Through interviews with 45 Iraqi civilians who had lived through the 2 nd Gulf War, we found that people were able to evoke the social infrastructure through technological resources to maintain practices for work, to obtain goods and services, and to receive contextual support. We then theorize properties of social infrastructure that could be developed into affordances for new technologies to promote resilience during crises.
