In this episode, we explore the challenges immigrants and asylum seekers face in the U.S., from the fear of deportation to the lasting health impacts of displacement. We discuss how policy, rhetoric, and lack of support affect community well-being, as well as share possible ways for healthcare providers, educators, and local communities to create more welcoming and supportive environments.
