摘要：

Despite the adversity Syrian refugees face, the majority of them present positive functioning and do not show clear signs of psychiatric diagnoses. To understand what constitutes this resilience and the concept of mental health among Syrian refugees, a total of four semi-structured groups interviews (N = 25) was conducted in Istanbul (Turkey) and Buffalo (USA). Findings suggest that resilience was cultivated by living in the present with hope for the future; future for their children; feelings of personal safety; being with similar others; religion, and a positive outlook on life. Syrians' conceptualization of mental health differs depending on their exposure to new practices, knowledge, and available resource in their new country.
