abstract="This qualitative research study examines the experiences and strategies that eight Afghan women engaged in to support the mental health of themselves and others, while facing significant war-related trauma in Afghanistan and the process of immigration and resettlement in the United States. The coping processes identified represent diverse and often culturally grounded methods of facing hardship. The participants endorsed relatively low levels of current mental health difficulties, suggesting that the coping mechanisms the women engaged in may be effective. The study also illustrates the culturally grounded nature and equifinality of resilience, as no two women engaged in all the same coping processes.
