Webinar at the EUPHA Public Health Week 2026

Family dynamics strongly shape migration decisions and experiences, and migration itself affects family wellbeing. Families can serve as key sources of resilience, providing emotional, social, and economic support. At the same time, migration can disrupt family roles, structures, and support networks, impacting mental health of both migrants and family members left behind. This has been increasingly acknowledged in European and international research networks.

This webinar explores the interplay between family, migration, and mental health, presenting real-life cases from the East and Horn of Africa region with the concept of transnational family dynamics. On this basis it engages in a discussion on the need to integrate family-centered approaches into public health strategies and mental health interventions.
