This chapter examines the cultural and social approaches used to bolster mental health resilience among refugees in Uganda. The chapter arose from a qualitative study conducted to draw more attention to the use of these approaches in helping people cope with challenging circumstances. The study employed the resilience theory and community engagement paradigms to analyse how traditional rituals, religious practices, and storytelling are employed to nurture refugees’ emotional well-being in Uganda. Using qualitative techniques like in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, this research documents the experiences of 20 refugees, four community leaders, and four mental health practitioners drawn from different refugee settlements in Uganda. The results of the study show that culturally defined practices and strong social networks greatly enhance psychological resilience. However, there are striking differences among refugee groups in terms of their coping strategies; for instance, Nigerian refugees appear to rely more on self-centred coping strategies, unlike Somali and Eritrean communities who provide collective support to their members. While these self-sustaining strategies are effective in providing the needed emotional support, they do not adequately deal with the underlying economic problems. Therefore, the study proposes an integrated approach that includes applying cultural strength-based interventions together with structural aid such as financial and vocational assistance to foster adequate refugee well-being. The study also recommends the transformation of refugee care-giving by blending cultural strength with economic resources.
