Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have gained significant traction for their efficacy in enhancing mental health, mitigating stress and promoting wellbeing among the refugee and migrant population.</div></div><div><h3>Aim</h3><div>This scoping review aimed to assess the existing evidence on MBIs for mental health in refugee and migrant populations, highlighting their effectiveness, benefits and implementation challenges.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Following the Levac et al. framework, the following databases were systematically searched: CINAHL, Cochrane Central, Emcare, Medline, PsycInfo, Scopus, Web of Science, Google and Google Scholar—covering literature published between 2014 and 2024. Twenty-one studies were included in the final data extraction and thematic analysis, consisting of 13 qualitative studies, five quantitative studies, and three mixed-methods studies.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Across various settings and countries, MBIs demonstrated significant benefits. In Israel, studies indicated that MBTR-R significantly reduced symptoms of PTSD (F = 12.44, η² = .17, p = .001), re-experiencing (F = 9.76, η² = .14), and hyperarousal (F = 23.93, η² = .29), increased self-compassion (.77 → .83) and decreased self-criticism (.47 → .39). In the United States, MTPC enhanced emotion regulation (β = −12.98, d = −.59), self-compassion (β = .50, d = .72), and self-efficacy (β = 2.03, d = .97). In Türkiye, the self-esteem of preschoolers increased from 25.63 to 40.89 (η² = .49). In Uganda, adolescents experienced a reduction in depressive symptoms by 10.72 points (p &lt; .0001). In Australia, a community-based MBI led to a decrease in depression scores from 9.2 to 4.2 (z = −8.48). Collectively, this review's findings suggest that MBIs significantly improve the mental health of migrants and refugees. However, the effectiveness of MBIs implementation was hindered by limited resources, cultural and language barriers, insufficient facilitator training, and a lack of institutional support.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Despite implementation challenges, MBIs remain a promising and effective approach to mental health care for refugees and migrants. Future studies should focus on creating culturally appropriate interventions and assessing the long-term effects of MBIs on the mental health of displaced populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

The knowledge of youth flourishing is crucial to promoting the mental health of all youths beyond those with mental illness. Despite the increased interest in youth flourishing, limited studies examined flourishing among disadvantaged youth. Moreover, a limited number of validated measures exist that can accurately measure flourishing for marginalized youth of different demographics. This paper presents the results from the Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses (FA) of the adolescent version of the Flourishing Index using the data collected from youth aging out of foster care (18–24 years old) who participated in the Flourishing After Foster Care study, a national survey of 379 transitional youth aging out of foster care. Additionally, we examined measurement invariance between the transitional youth of different sexes [male (n = 256) vs female (n = 89)], race [White (n = 272) vs youth of color (n = 83)], and sexual orientation [heterosexual (n = 282) vs sexual minority (n = 92)]. The results from the FAs supported a one-dimensional model with 10 items, which showed excellent fit (CFI = 0.985, TLI = 0.980, RMSEA = 0.054, SRMR = 0.021). Measurement invariance was supported based on sex and sexual orientation but not on race. Partial invariance was supported based on race with the exclusion of one item related to delayed gratification. Future research should build on these findings to further explore flourishing indicators for youths across different identities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

This movement brings together organisations, associations, groups and activists, platforms of psychiatrised people, who connect through diverse strategies to advance struggles for social justice and recognition in the field of mental health. We understand this movement as an epistemic fraternity promoting a critical conscience in relation to the oppressions experienced by psychiatrised people. The Archive project is a tool available for resistance against epistemic violence. It rescues the oral memory and recovers the intangible heritage related to the social struggles, the associative dynamics and the trajectories of the Mad Movement in Catalonia. Thus, the project is based on a participatory action research approach, framed in Mad Studies, seeking to generate spaces for recognition and visibility in this area, based on the participation and reflection of its protagonists. Based on conversations with activists of movements in first person, it aims to build and activate a narrative that articulates a collective biography linked to the struggles to transform the hegemonic approaches in the field of mental health and denounce its excesses. From the activist narratives collected, we can get to know and recognise the impact and transformative capacity of the movement and how it undoes epistemic injustice through collective action and mutual aid that generate counter-hegemonic agency and epistemic fraternity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.
