Hi there! I hope you're enjoying your summer and taking some well-deserved time for yourself. If you just chuckled at that thought, read on.
When boarding a plane and the flight attendants go over the safety precautions, they always emphasize that those traveling with a child or someone who needs assistance should put the oxygen masks on themselves first and then help their companion. Why? Because if you run out of oxygen while trying to put the mask on someone else, you can no longer be of any help to others, and now you are the one in trouble. When we give but do not refill our own cup, we end up depleted and have nothing left to give.

While epidemiological studies have established a general pattern of lower risk for mental health disorders among first-generation (foreign-born) immigrants in the U.S., recent studies highlight how this pattern varies substantially by the intersection of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, and socioeconomic status. Contextual factors including the family and neighborhood content; an immigrant's social position; experiences of social support and social exclusion; language competency and ability; and exposure to discrimination and acculturative stress further influence the relationship between immigration and mental health.
