| Abstract
|
:
|
Background and Purpose of the Study: Arabs come from over 20 countries in Africa and Asia. Many of those countries either have an ongoing war, battle with terrorism, or political turmoil that may have resulted in mental health issues for Arabs migrating to America. Arab Americans continue to migrate to the U.S. Arab Americans have been experiencing stress due to the discrimination they face post 9/11, their acculturation method, cultural difference, pre-migration mental health conditions, and the Arab culture that discourages seeking mental health support from outside the family. The problems are Arab Americans’ perception of mental health in general and available professional mental health services, professional mental health providers’ knowledge of the Arab culture concerning mental health, and the relationship between Arab American attitudes towards mental health services and mental health issues. In addition, an increasing percentage of Arab Americans are second-generation, born in the U.S., and there is limited research to understand whether there are differences between the first and second-generations related to the way they perceive and seek professional mental health services.
