Charting the Realms of Wellness: Survival, Community and Education as Critical Priorities in Communities in Need

Abstract

As refugee and migrant populations find themselves changing environments for the sake of their own health and that of their families, there comes a redidniton od what it means to be well and to be healthy. Through conversations with those who have migrated and now work in health and community service, assisting these communities of need, the concepts of prioritization, survival, and a “basic need” are brought into question as different aspects of wellness intertwine.
