At present, the issue of migration is becoming increasingly socially and politically relevant at national and global levels. Its increasing restrictiveness, securitization, and precarity are among the significant sources of uncertainty and stress that migrants can experience. Therefore, it is not surprising that the question of how to adapt services in this area to the needs of migrants and/or ethnic minorities is also present among professionals and stakeholders in the area of mental health and migration.
