Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on children and families around the world. Iranian immigrant families in Montreal, Canada, have faced unique challenges related to social isolation, economic pressures, and difficulties accessing public services during this time. Pre-existing stressors, such as language barriers, cultural differences, and the integration process in the new country, compounded these challenges. Eight Iranian immigrant parents (seven mothers and one father) were interviewed regarding their experiences coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, the effects on the children and the strategies families used to cope with the pandemic. Finally, parents were interviewed regarding their perceptions and beliefs regarding exposing children to nature, its opportunities and challenges and one coping strategy. Parents reported feeling overwhelmed by the demands of managing their children's education at home while also trying to work and manage their own stress. Parents also stated that children, in turn, experienced feeling lonely and disconnected from their peers and struggling with the abrupt changes in their daily routines. Despite these challenges, the study also found that this population was resilient and resourceful, relying on their own networks of support and seeking out community resources to cope with the pandemic. Overall, the study highlights the need for policymakers and service providers to understand better the unique needs of immigrant families, including access to resources in multiple languages, addressing financial challenges, and mental health support during the pandemic.
