The Punjabi diaspora has roots connecting to the state of Punjab in India, which has witnessed significant historical trauma. The Punjabi population in Alberta is increasing with immigration and migration from other areas in Canada. Punjabi women face challenges seeking appropriate support for their mental health. There are significant gaps in the literature in this area, warranting further exploration to better understand and support mental health service delivery for this population. Based on an Interpretive Description methodology, seven Punjabi women living in Alberta participated in semi-structured interviews to share their mental health service access experiences. Findings convey a range of challenges related to mental health service utilization. Recommendations are offered to inform mental health support for this population.EnglishMental HealthPunjabiPunjabi Women's Mental HealthTransnational FeminismIntersectionalityQualitative ResearchInterpretive DescriptionQualitative MethodologySocial Work PracticeSocial Work Practice with Diverse CommunitiesSocial SciencesPsychologyEducationHealth And Environmental Sciencesmaster thesis
