As North Carolina's immigrant population grows, policy must take into account that immigrant populations can face unique challenges and stressors that impact mental well-being. Understanding and addressing these specific needs is vital to ensuring equitable mental health care. We are happy to share the results of recent work with El Futuro to develop this landscape analysis illuminating the mental health gaps and opportunities for immigrants across our state. In total, 20 interviews were conducted with 21 individuals. Interviewees represented a variety of professional roles and immigrant backgrounds; however, a majority of interviewees represented a Latino immigrant and/or ethnic identity.
