Tiivistelmä
One of the main purposes of this study is to learn about immigration and students’ mental health.
For the results of the interviews, the author found out that the interviewees suffered from discrimination and racism in Finland from Finnish citizens and authorities. Cultural differences have a huge impact in a student's adaptation.
Additional problems were also discovered by the author. There have been only a few research about this topic and those research are outdated. One out of five refugee students who later become immigrants potentially have more symptoms of depression and PTSD. Social awareness and mental health services are not properly marketed towards immigrants, so they tend to lean more to their families and friends.
