Refugees are disproportionally impacted by trauma and its negative sequelae. Even after being resettled in the United States, refugees face disparities in accessing services due to the stigma attached to mental health symptoms and the paucity of culturally and linguistically accessible services. Thus, there is a great need to develop methods that facilitate the engagement of refugee communities. Community-Based Participatory Research recommends the forming of equal and equitable partnerships with communities and stakeholders to enhance community capacity and ownership of the research process and outcomes (Israel et al., 1998). The present article shares one approach to operationalizing these principles with the Somali refugee community. It provides a road map of best practices in collaborating with communities and the importance of colearning and cultural humility to a successful partnership.

与难民社区合作改善心理健康服务：从“他们为什么不来”到“我（我们）能做些什么不同的事情？”。

难民受到创伤及其负面后遗症的影响不成比例。即使在美国重新安置后，由于对心理健康症状的污名化以及缺乏文化和语言可获得的服务，难民在获得服务方面仍面临差距。因此，非常需要开发促进难民社区参与的方法。基于社区的参与式研究建议与社区和利益相关者建立平等和公平的伙伴关系，以提高社区能力和对研究过程和结果的所有权（Israel et al., 1998）。本文与索马里难民社区分享了实施这些原则的一种方法。它提供了与社区合作的最佳实践路线图，以及共同学习和文化谦逊对成功合作的重要性。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
