A significant increase in mental health resource requests has been observed among Somali community members. This rise is attributed to the anxiety and fear caused by a recent operation. Despite the stigma surrounding Western-style mental health care in Somali culture, many are now seeking therapy due to anti-Somali rhetoric and immigration crackdowns.

A marriage and family therapist has reported an influx of calls, particularly from mixed-status families experiencing anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Further details about the situation and its impact on the community are available from the source.

The therapist noted a worsening of the situation following certain incidents, although specific details are not provided here.
