This lack of familial support among those in an ethnic community directly affects refugees’ emotional and physical health in a negative manner (Simich, Beiser,& Mawani, 2003). Poor or nonexistent support systems do not give refugees the outlet to cope with the involuntary changes that are forced upon their lives as a resettled refugee. An incapability to deal with such stressors is the specific cause as to why significant amounts of psychological distress are seen among Afghan refugees in America.

This comprehensive annotated bibliography discusses about the poor mental health of the refugees and asylum seekers under detention in developed countries. This sits within the “Social Work Practice in Mental Health” and “Social Work with Refugee Survivors of Torture and Trauma” categories of Social Work fields of practice (Alston and McKinnon, 2005) and uses sources from Australian publications on these issues. The sources cited suggest that due to the large number of refugees and asylum seekers, governments of developed countries have implemented policies to deter people from seeking asylum such as immigration detention policies, strict visa restrictions, rigorous border checks and the stopping of voyages of vessels suspected of carrying smuggled asylum seekers (Silove et al. 2000). The refugees and asylum seekers go through tremendous amount of mental suffering and the worst affected are small children and adolescents.
