Revealing the Power of Peer Support in the Lives of Women Immigrants from Mexico.

To address high rates of social isolation and depression among female Mexican immigrants, we are testing (Spanish, conversational gatherings), an innovative peer support group intervention. Our anthropologically inspired theoretical architecture integrates gendered emplacement theory, women's funds of knowledge, and cultural and contextual situatedness. We used a community-driven, community-engaged research (CD-CEnR) design, involving 59 female Mexican immigrants who participated in weekly group meetings by Zoom.
