Following the financial and economic crisis, welfare policies across the EU are increasingly becoming instruments for limiting the mobility of certain EU migrants. In this article, we focus on EU citizens who see their freedom of movement in the EU being restricted after they have applied for social assistance or unemployment benefits in their country of residence. Doing so, we conceptualize undocumented EU migration by means of the concepts of 'non-deportability', 'deservingness' and 'precariousness'. Overall, this article - based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted with Italian migrants in Belgium - expands our understanding of undocumented migration by demonstrating how arbitrary and intimidating bureaucratic processes undermine the exercise of EU citizenship.

Electronic Personal Health Records (EPHRs) are potentially effective tools for improving the continuity and quality of care for migrants and refugees, and specifically for undocumented migrants (UDMs). However, little is known about the intention and preconditions of healthcare providers (HCPs) to use an EPHR for UDM in the Netherlands. Between April 2023 and June 2023, thirteen interviews, using a semi-structured topic guide, were conducted with Dutch HCPs.

During the last years, migratory flows on the continent have increasingly included children and adolescents who are migrating through non-authorised crossing points. The existing literature shows how inequities negatively affect migrant children and the role that healthcare systems can play to mitigate them.

Purpose Of The Review: We review the literature and examine the impact of traumatic stress experienced by children and youth crossing the US-Mexico Border and discuss the psychological effects of trauma incurred in this population, observing various traumatic stressors and their implications on both short and long-term mental health outcomes. Additionally, we discuss existing interventions and treatment approaches while also emphasizing the need for greater awareness, new interventions, and further research.
Recent Findings: Over the past several decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of undocumented youth crossing the US-Mexico border into the United States and these individuals experience various traumatic stressors throughout the pre-migration, migration, and post-migration phases.
