Abstract
With the Black immigrant population in the United States rapidly increasing, there is a pressing need to understand their unique challenges. We examine the mental health issues of Black immigrant families in the US through the lens of intersectionality. We explore how overlapping identities, race, immigration status, and socioeconomic conditions impact mental health outcomes. Despite their growing numbers, Black immigrants remain underrepresented in mental health research, facing barriers such as language, cultural stigma, and limited access to services. Specific findings reveal how structural racism and migration stress compound to worsen mental health outcomes. This review highlights the importance of targeted, culturally sensitive interventions and comprehensive healthcare practices by analyzing these factors. We advocate for an intersectional approach to address systemic barriers and improve mental health outcomes for Black immigrant families, emphasizing the urgent need for expanded research to promote social justice and equity.
