Résumé

This study assessed the perspectives of pregnant and postpartum African immigrant women on mental illness. We conducted a focus group session ( Five core themes emerged: conceptualization of mental health, community stigmatizing attitudes, biopsychosocial stressors, management of mental health, and methods to reduce stigma. Understanding the perspectives of pregnant African immigrant women at the intersection of their race, ethnicity, gender, and migration are necessary to improve engagement with mental health services.
