Working with migrants can be an amazing rewarding and inspiring experience. However it can also result in secondary trauma, especially if you have had shared experiences with the migrants (e.g., being from one of the same countries, being an immigrant, have your human rights denied, having experienced trauma, community violence, or abuse first hand). Yet, there is another way to look at their trauma. By focusing on seeing their strengths, these migrant experiences can help create hope for you and inspire you to see how much good there is in the world despite all the negative things happening in the world. Paying attention to the strengths of the migrants you have worked with can inspire you to be resilient and cope with stress like they have persevered in the face of trauma. As you listen to the migrants you work with, instead of viewing them as someone to “save,” see them as equals who are courageous models of being vulnerable and asking for help despite being in completely new territory with people they do not know.
