Displaced populations face a higher risk of experiencing mental health challenges, while also dealing with the stigma associated with both discussing mental health illness and seeking care.

The relatively new science of epigenetics is proving that who you are is the culmination of the experiences in your life – and even those of your ancestors – which cause changes in how your genes operate.
Modifications occur and genes can switch on or off depending on the environment.
