WISCONSIN UNITED
for MENTAL HEALTH

Most refugees that come to America have suffered traumas in their homelands.  Refugees are at-risk for posttraumatic stress disorder and often struggle with the grief and isolation caused by leaving their homeland, culture, and family members when coming to America and/or the death of family members in their homelands.
