Addressing Sleep Issues with Digital Tools – Supporting Afghan Newcomers’ Mental Health through Digital Inclusion

Case Scenario: Addressing Sleep Issues with Digital Tools

In this supplemental case scenario, we revisit Massud, a 38-year-old Afghan newcomer, six years into his resettlement journey. Now facing new challenges, including insomnia and financial stress, Massud turns to digital tools recommended by his former mental health service provider to manage his sleep disturbances. This video illustrates practical examples of how refugee service providers can equip clients with effective digital resources to support their mental and emotional well-being even after formal therapy has ended. It’s an insightful resource for those seeking to understand the long-term application of digital tools in refugee mental health care.

 

This is a case scenario presented in this six-session series, designed to help service providers address Afghan newcomers’ mental health concerns by ensuring they have access to technological resources. The series will focus on three scenarios, based on real experiences, with clients who engage with technological tools to support their mental health.
