Immigrant and refugee youths are on the rise across the globe. Since many of these youth face various mental health and psychosocial challenges upon arrival in the new host country, social workers are called to generate innovative and effective interventions to support these newcomers. While traditional therapy has been found to assist with the transition these youth face, there are many barriers preventing immigrant and refugee youth from accessing those services. Mentoring is considered as a potentially viable alternative to traditional therapy to provide emotional and instrumental support to immigrant and refugee youth. A case example is also explored.
