In the 21st century, finding solutions for the mental health epidemic is challenging. Evidence-based research identified that first-generation immigrants have a lower risk of a diagnosis of mental illness. However, studies recognized that first-generation immigrants generally have an initial health advantage over their US-born counterparts that declines the longer they reside in the U.S.A. Is there a root cause? Or do immigrants not have any other option than to be successful, strive, and survive? Each experiences acculturation and acculturative stress differently based on their experience, knowledge, core beliefs, support system, and upbringing. Individuals' ability to manage acculturative stress and migrant employees' ability to develop coping skills have an impact on personal and professional performance and emotional and psychological stability. Therefore, it is essential that healthcare professionals understand migrant employees and their psychological status and coping mechanisms to better serve them.
