Managing Anxiety and Focus Issues with Digital Tools – Supporting Afghan Newcomers’ Mental Health through Digital Inclusion

Case Scenario: Managing Anxiety and Focus Issues with Digital Tools

In this supplemental case scenario, we follow Mariam, a 17-year-old Afghan newcomer, as she navigates the challenges of adjusting to a new educational system and dealing with anxiety. Through this animation, you’ll see how Mariam uses specific digital tools, like relaxation apps and instrumental music, to manage her anxiety and improve her focus on studies. This video provides a practical example for refugee service providers on how to empower young newcomers with effective digital resources to support their mental and emotional well-being during their resettlement journey.

 

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.
