Case Scenario: Overcoming Culture Shock with Technology
In this supplemental case scenario, we follow Massud, a 38-year-old Afghan newcomer, as he navigates the challenges of culture shock and resettlement in the United States. Through this animation, you’ll see how digital tools like the Settle In app and online community groups can help Afghan refugees like Massud manage mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression.
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.
