The qualitative research reported here assesses personal and community mental health resources from the perspective of providers in Cambodia and in Lowell, Massachusetts. The research documents culturally relevant coping strategies available to Cambodians for combating the damaging effects of trauma and stress. Interviews were conducted with eleven caregivers in Cambodia and with six providers in Lowell. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. Participants identified the breakdown of traditional helping systems, poverty, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as major results of past traumas experienced by Cambodians during and after the Khmer Rouge. In helping people cope with these traumas, participants found that using a combination of Western and traditional healing pathways was very helpful. Commonly used coping resources that were identified from the analysis include Western forms of one-to-one counseling, faith healing through Buddhism, the use of Western medication, individual and community education, support groups and the move toward a more centered, inner focus of self-identity through artistic and cultural expressions.
