Looks at the intersecting worlds of sanctuary-seeking and mental health

Refugees don't just survive displacement, they build strength, community, and new ways of coping that challenge everything we know about mental health.

The Migrant Art of Coping shares stories of refugees navigating harsh borders, restrictive laws, and failing support systems. Each chapter offers a truth about what happens at the margins that holds lessons for people at the centre.

Whether you're a mental health professional, a concerned citizen, or simply curious about how people find hope in the face of upheaval, this book will shift the way you see anxiety, identity, and healing. By learning from those at the margins, we can build a better mental health system for everyone.

Sohail Jannesari is a researcher, writer, and educator exploring the intersections of migration, mental health, and social justice. He founded Stolen Tools, an anti-racist journal, the Migrant Connections Festival, a space for solidarity and community, and Inspiring Ethics, a group reshaping academic ethical practices.
