“…The study uses a theoretical framework of transnational feminism to understand barriers to mental health care access faced by immigrant families in Canada. Transnational feminism focuses on the movement of capital, labor, and people across international borders, with particular attention to gender implications (Cleland Silva, 2019). We focus on mothers' perspectives because parenting is often gendered, with women disproportionately responsible for the well-being of their children (Lyonette & Crompton, 2014).…”

Introduction: Data on immigrant and refugees’ access to services in Canada typically focus on adult populations generally but not children specifically. To fill this gap, this study explored immigrant and refugee mothers’ perceptions of barriers and facilitators for mental health care for their children in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Method: In this qualitative descriptive study, researchers conducted 18 semistructured interviews with immigrant and refugee mothers who live in Edmonton, self-identify as women, and have children living in Canada. Results: Barriers included financial strain, lack of information, racism/discrimination, language barriers, stigma, feeling isolated, and feeling unheard by service providers. Facilitators included schools offering services, personal levels of higher education, and free services. Discussion: Nurses can improve access to mental health services by addressing issues related to racism within the health system, by creating awareness related to mental health, and by providing trained interpreters to help bridge barriers in communications.

“…According to the informants, private families and smaller Finnish-Filipino recruitment agencies have also started to directly recruit domestic workers and cleaners from the Philippines. The role of Filipino migrants as transnational care workers as well as their recruitment to Finland has been thoroughly discussed (Cleland Silva 2018;Näre 2012;Vaittinen, Hoppania & Karsio 2018;Vartiainen et al 2016). This article aims to deepen the topic by providing an exploration of Filipino labour migrants' use of their social ties and networks in their efforts to become included in the Finnish labour market and society.…”

This article focuses on how social capital is mobilisable and usable for Filipino labour migrants in their efforts to become part of the Finnish labour market. Drawing on the argument of Anthias that not all kinds of resources enable social capital, this article also reveals the dominant role of the minority church as a provider of support simultaneously confining its members' inclusion to the destination society. The article demonstrates how mobilisation of social capital is possible only in certain socioeconomic context, for example, when social ties transfer usable resources for the actors, such as information and access to a new job, whereas in other cases, the social ties chiefly provide non-mobilisable resources, such as emotional support and solidarity. However, these resources can be of advantage for strengthening the ethnic identity of migrants.

“…Recent research has examined the complex ways in which employers in formal (e.g. Näre 2013;Cleland-Silva 2018) and informal (e.g. Gavanas 2013;Gallo and Scrinzi 2016) care participate in the prevailing, austerity-driven recruitment and employment practices.…”

“…The chapter makes two contributions to research on the prevailing recruitment and employment practices in care work. First, most research on such practices has focused on care employers who are actively involved in hiring workers across national borders and from the 'international' labor market (Adhikari and Melia 2013;Hellgren 2015;Cleland-Silva 2018).…”
